[Finger replantation in children].
The possibility of replantation is discussed for children's amputation injuries. The use of this technique is also indicated for multiple amputations and severe crush injuries. More than half of the replanted fingers healed successfully. Since the existence of the Replantation centre of the Klinikum Rechts der Isar, over 600 operations of separated limbs were performed. The healing rate of totally and subtotally separated limbs of adults was 87%. The attempt was made to replant separated digits of 14 children, aged from 1 to 8 years, with microvascular anastomoses. The grade of injuries and the minimal size of anatomic structures demand a particularly high standard of the operative standard. Replantation was also indicated for badly squashed and contaminated limbs.
