Abstract
Digital amputations are frequent injuries, the majority of them are caused by workplace accidents. Microsurgical techniques are an alternative option to repair these amputations. This study aims to report our experience in digital replantation through the examination of 18 cases. We conducted a retrospective study of 14 patients with total or subtotal fingers amputation between June 2013 and January 2015. All unidigital and multidigital replantations downstream of the distal insertion of superficial flexor tendon as well as all digital replantations upstream of the distal insertion of superficial flexor tendon were included in our study. These patients underwent surgery according to conventional digital replantation procedures. Five replantations were secondarily regularized. Among the 18 replantations, eight digital replantions evolved favorably since replantation helped restore active range of motion and passive range of motion of the finger operated without revision surgery and early and late secondary complication. In our study we achieved satisfactory results despite the difficult conditions including the initial state of the amputated finger and its delayed management. The development and mastery of microsurgery has helped change the prognosis of these amputations with serious functional and psychological consequences; the results of our study are encouraging with reference to the implementation of the SOS Hand Service in Morocco.Entities:
