[Economic aspects of replantation surgery].

Between 1977 and 1986 201 patients were treated by a replantation. 89 (44.3%) had a work accident. In order to find out the change in renumeration payed by the insurance company, 47 were seen at an follow up. They all had had a working accident and were insured by the "Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt, Landesstelle Salzburg". We compared the lifetime difference of degree of disablement with and without replantation. An average diminuation of rentpayment between 5 to 25% per patient was found after successful replantations.
