| Abstract: | The authors report a case of successful replantation of all fingers in a ten-finger complete amputation. Among the factors responsible for the successful outcome were an adequate number of microsurgically-trained resident surgeons and staff, good organization and supervision by senior staff, emphasis on precision and perseverance in the operative procedures, and postoperative management. Follow-up is 15 months, and the patient now has a pair of functionally and cosmetically good hands. |
