Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Arm function recovery after macroreplantation is complex and multifactorial.
  • Monitoring functional return and nerve integrity is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
  • Established methods exist for assessing functional loss and nerve conduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate functional rehabilitation outcomes following upper extremity macroreplantation.
  • To assess the validity of nerve conduction studies in monitoring the return of manual functions.
  • To identify correlations between electrophysiological findings and functional recovery.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of seven patients undergoing upper extremity macroreplantation and rehabilitation was studied.
  • Functional assessments included Swanson's method for function loss, range of motion, muscle strength, sensation, and the Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT).
  • Nerve conduction studies measured response amplitude, conduction speed, and distal latency.

Main Results:

  • Average hand function loss decreased from 63.6% to 49.18%, with significant improvements in grip strength and NHPT performance.
  • Nerve conduction studies revealed enhanced motor and sensory conduction parameters post-rehabilitation.
  • Positive correlations were observed between improved sensory conduction and two-point discrimination, and between motor fiber amplitude and reduced arm function loss.

Conclusions:

  • Tailored rehabilitation strategies and comprehensive functional assessments are vital for maximizing recovery potential after macroreplantation.
  • Nerve conduction studies serve as a critical tool for tracking manual skill progression during long-term rehabilitation.
  • Long-term follow-up is essential for patients who have undergone upper extremity macroreplantation.
