Sensory recovery following digital replantation plays an important role in the restoration of hand function. Twelve patients with twenty-four replanted or revascularized digits were randomly selected to enter a program of sensory reeducation, and another 15 patients with 22 replanted or revascularized digits were selected as controls who did not receive sensory reeducation. A moving two-point discrimination and a Semmes-Weinstein pressure threshold test were evaluated for monitoring the sensory recovery. The period of sensory reeducation was 18.83 weeks on average, and the mean follow-up time was 11.94 months. The group that received sensory reeducation significantly improved to a better degree of moving two-point discrimination and Semmes-Weinstein threshold level by both univariate and multiple regression analysis. We suggest that sensory reeducation should be an integral part of the postoperative rehabilitation protocol following digital replantation and revascularization.
