title: [Successful replantation of circularly severed palm and multiply severed fingers. A case report].
abstract: Replantation of a circularly severed palm, partially severed middle finger and completely severed ring and small fingers was done successfully in one patient. Two palmar arteries, 5 digital arteries, 3 dorsal palmar veins, 9 dorsal digital veins were anastomosed. Vein transplantation was carried out to repair the ulnar digital artery defect of the middle finger. Severe swelling after arterial thrombosis was noted on the 7th day and was eliminated by the use of urokinase. All the replanted parts survived with good functional results. Precise anastomosis, prevention and treatment of thrombosis, early exercises were essential to the survival of fingers and functional recovery of hand.
