title: [Epiphyseal growth after replantation in childhood].
abstract: Long-term results in 17 patients with 19 replanted parts of the upper extremity after replantation during childhood are presented. Regarding longitudinal epiphyseal growth, three patients had normal growth. In 15 cases, average length of the replanted digits attained 88.6% of normal and one patient gained overgrowth of 118% of normal. In every case, consolidation of the fracture was seen. Four patients developed a deviation of the replanted finger in the frontal plane. The cause of deviation in every case was incorrect primary reposition and not a disturbance of growth of the replanted epiphysis.
