Summary

Replanting avulsed upper limbs in children can yield gratifying functional results when bony stability, vascular repair, and nerve repair are addressed. This complex procedure is a worthwhile undertaking for pediatric limb salvage.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric surgery
  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Limb replantation

Background:

  • Proximal upper limb amputation presents significant local and systemic challenges.
  • Limb replantation often yields suboptimal functional outcomes.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric cases of proximal upper limb avulsion injuries were treated.
  • The cases involved secure bony stability, vascular reconstruction, and immediate nerve repair.

Findings:

  • Successful replantation in children can lead to highly gratifying functional results.
  • Detailed case reports illustrate positive late functional outcomes.

Implications:

  • Pediatric limb replantation is a complex but highly valuable procedure.
