Microsurgery: Transplantation and Replantation by Harry J. Buncke, MD, et al. |
CASE 17
Complete arm amputation was seen in a 3-year-old boy. From Buncke H.J., and Valouri, F.A.: Digital and upper limb replantation, Chapter 87. In The Hand, Vol. III. Editor Tabiana Raal. Philadelphia, W.B. Saunders, 1988. FIG. 31-91. The arm has been transected at the midshaft of the humerus.
|
CASE 18 A patient sustained complete amputation of the arm just distal to the elbow. FIG. 31-101. Without replantation, the forearm stump would have been too short to hold a below-elbow prosthesis.
CASE 19 A patient suffered a two-level injury, through the proximal humerus and wrist. All structures except a dorsal skin bridge were transected at the wrist. |
