Abstract

16 patients with complete mid-palm amputations underwent replantation between 1987 and 1991. 14 were successful. Young patients with guillotine type mid-palm amputations who could be treated with end-to-end suturing of the tendons and nerves, presented with the highest degree of function when evaluated both objectively and subjectively. In contrast, less return of function was noted in patients with high energy or avulsion type injuries of the nerves.
