title: [Reconstruction of grip function in bilateral complex explosion injury].
abstract: Evaluation, therapeutical possibilities, and surgical planning for the restoration of bilateral grip function are described, based upon the case of a blind patient presenting after severe bilateral explosion injuries of the hand with grade 3-4 loss of thumbs and fingers. Finally, the given level of amputation and remaining components of the hand together with toe transplantation permitted restoring of power grip on one side and fine grip on the other side in combination with bone and soft-tissue procedures.
