Wrist level and proximal-upper extremity replantation

Douglas P Hanel et al. Hand Clin. 2007 Feb.

Abstract

Since Malt and McKhan's first successful arm replantation in 1962, upper extremity replantation surgery techniques have been refined and spread worldwide. Nevertheless, replantation at or proximal to the wrist, referred to as wrist-proximal replants, remains a daunting challenge that presents the hand surgeon with an array of difficulties distinct from digital replantation.
