[Reconstruction of gripping function (author's transl)]

D Buck-Gramcko

    Zeitschrift Fur Kinderchirurgie Und Grenzgebiete
    |July 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Restoring hand grasp function is possible through conventional index finger transposition for thumb amputation and microsurgical toe transplantation for multiple finger loss. Both methods yielded satisfactory functional recovery in severe hand injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Microsurgery
    • Reconstructive surgery

    Context:

    • Severe hand injuries often result in significant loss of function, particularly grasp.
    • Restoration of hand function is crucial for patient quality of life.

    Purpose:

    • To describe two distinct surgical approaches for restoring grasp function in severely injured hands.
    • To evaluate the functional outcomes of these reconstructive techniques.

    Summary:

    • Case 1: Reconstruction of a traumatically amputated thumb using conventional index finger transposition.
    • Case 2: Restoration of four lost fingers using free toe transplantation with microvascular anastomoses.
    • Both cases achieved satisfactory hand grasp function post-reconstruction.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates the efficacy of both traditional and modern microsurgical techniques in hand reconstruction.
    • Highlights successful functional restoration in complex hand trauma cases.
    • Offers insights into treatment options for severe hand amputations.
