During the past 4 years we performed 261 replantations and revascularizations on amputated digits and hands in 153 patients. The overall survival rate was 82%. Clean-cut proximal level amputations and hypothermically preserved amputation parts had the highest survival rate. A higher survival rate and more satisfactory results with accelerated return of sensory function correlated with repair of both digital arteries and two veins rather than only one. All patients experienced intolerance to cold, but this was more troublesome in patients with digital replantation in whom only a single artery was repaired. Digital sensibility and joint motion after replantation were better in these patients who had sharp amputations and on whom repairs were carried out in zone III. Return of intrinsic muscle function after hand replantation was poor; however, patient satisfaction with the procedures remained high.
