[Finger replantation]

Abstract

Authors performed from 1979 to 1989 on 89 fingers of 65 patients replantation or revascularization operations after total or partial amputations. The procedure was unsuccessful in 16 cases. The operation was successful in 82 per cent and this corresponds to the literary data. It is stressed that the operative result depends not from the survival of the finger but from the functional end result.
