[Successful replantation in ten-digit complete amputation: a case report]
Summary
This study details a successful ten-digit hand replantation following complete amputation. Post-operative physiotherapy led to significant functional recovery in both hands.
Area of Science:
- Reconstructive Microsurgery
- Trauma Surgery
- Hand Surgery
Background:
- Complete amputation of multiple digits presents significant reconstructive challenges.
- Avulsion injuries complicate digital replantation, requiring meticulous surgical planning and execution.
Observation:
- A case of ten-digit complete amputation with varying wound severity, including severe avulsion injuries in four fingers, was reported.
- Surgical replantation was performed by a dedicated surgical team despite the procedural complexities.
Findings:
- All ten replanted digits survived following appropriate surgical interventions.
- Significant functional recovery of both hands was observed six months post-operation after physiotherapy and exercises.
Implications:
- Successful multi-digit replantation is feasible even with severe injuries.
- This case highlights the importance of specialized surgical teams and comprehensive rehabilitation in achieving optimal outcomes for extensive traumatic amputations.
