Abstract:
Objective To summarize the methods of multiple digital replantation in different stages and improve the survival rate of replanted digits Methods In the procedure of replantation for fingertip one artery and one vein were anastomosoed, or one atrery was anastomosed accompanied with pulling out the nail and cutting small incision For middle of digit one artery and one vein were anastomosed For the proximal digit the ratio of anastomose for arteries and veins was 1 to 2 or 2 to 2 Superficial vein from arm or artery from the other finger was used if defection of vessel occur Results One hundred and twenty nine digits survived among the 142 replanted digits from 58 cases (survival rate was 90 8%),among which 113 fingers from 46 cases were subjected to following up form 3 months to 3 years, the rate of excellent and good was 85 8% Conclusion It takes more time and higher techniques to replant multiple digits To improve the survival rate, it is important to anastomose vessel excellently, deal with the defection of vessel correctly, and treat postoperative vessel crisis properly In addition, training exercise plays an important role in fnnctional recovery
