    Forearm replantation success hinges on nerve repair and rehabilitation. Careful nerve surgery and post-operative programs significantly improve functional outcomes for amputated limbs.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Microsurgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Forearm replantation aims to restore function and appearance after amputation.
    • Clinical outcomes depend on the quality of nerve regeneration and surgical repair.
    • Evaluating long-term functional results is crucial for optimizing treatment strategies.

    Observation:

    • This study reviewed six cases of forearm replantation and revascularization over ten years.
    • All replanted extremities survived, but initial functional results varied.
    • The first patient experienced poor motor and sensory return, highlighting early challenges.

    Findings:

    • Careful primary neurorrhaphy (nerve repair) in subsequent cases led to favorable functional outcomes.
    • Nerve regeneration is the primary determinant of functional recovery after forearm replantation.

  • Two key factors for success include meticulous peripheral nerve repair and structured postoperative rehabilitation.

    • Implications:

    • Optimized surgical techniques, particularly nerve repair, are vital for successful limb replantation.
    • Comprehensive hand rehabilitation programs are essential for maximizing functional recovery.
    • These findings can guide future strategies for improving outcomes in extremity replantation surgery.
