title: [Primary transpositions of fingers, results (author's transl)].
abstract: 12 cases of finger transposition during replantation using microvascular techniques are reported, all of which were performed in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Klinikum Rechts der Isar der Technischen Universität München (Head of Department: Prof. Dr. med. Ursula Schmidt-Tintemann). In multiple injuries of the hand, it is sometimes necessary to reconstruct fingers depending on their functional importance, when it is not possible to make a precise anatomical reconstruction owing to the destruction of the various amputated parts. The functional results following finger transposition are comparable to the results following 500 finger replantations in our hospital.
