Stabilization of bone in replantation surgery of the upper limb. 1978

H C Meuli, and V Meyer, and G Segmüller

The principles of sound osteosynthesis of the skeleton of the hand are the same as in internal fixation of other bones. Small implants and instruments are essential. In replantation surgery healing of microvascular anastomoses and nerve sutures as well as repaired tendons is possible when the skeleton is stabilized. Only the minimum metal should be implanted to avoid interference with joint and tendon function. A small implant can provide an adequate stability, when it is applied correctly. Replantation should be performed only by surgeons with extensive experience in the field.
