Abstract:

Amputation of an extremity frequently represents a life-threatening injury and is accompanied by volume deficiency shock through loss of blood. The loss of an arm leads to diability and thus impairs the physical and psychic integrity of the person concerned. This contribution presents 4 cases with macroamputation at the upper extremity, 3 of them involving successfully performed reimplantations. After a historic survey, these cases are used as a basis for discussing the establishment of the indication, the procedure, the complications and the results of the reimplantation.
