Clinical and experimental studies of bone union in reimplantation of digits: a preliminary report on ischemic interval.
The relationship between ischemic interval and bone union in reimplantation of digits was studied clinically and experimentally. In 32 reimplanted digits, the cases in which the bone union delayed had a longer ischemic interval. In experimental study of rats, bone union of the group of which ischemic interval was 12 hours was definitively delayed in comparison with that of the control group.
