[Reconstruction of the elbow joint in a replanted upper extremity using the microsurgical autotransplantation method].
Described is the method of the elbow joint reconstruction by means of free microsurgical autotransplantation of the vascularized Ist metatarsophalangeal joint. The technique has been tested in the clinic and a good functional result was obtained in a patient who had undergone emergency resection of the elbow joint in replantation of the upper limb. The authors believe that introduction of such operations in the clinical practice would significantly broaden the range of indications to replantation of the upper limb amputated at the level of the elbow joint.
