Indications for hand replantation need to take into account the patients general condition and the severity of the trauma. The advanced age of the patient is generally considered as a limiting factor of the replantation but does not absolutely disqualify a patient.The case of a right - handed man, 83 years of age is presented, who had a circular- saw wrist level amputation of his dominant hand. As the general condition of the patient was satisfactory, the wound was clean, and the ischemia time was only 3 hrs the replantation of the hand was decided. The procedure was performed in a standardized way, the revascularization took place 7 hrs after injury. In the early post-operative period within the replanted part skin and soft tissue necrosis developed. It was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, pediculed skin flap, and after its failure omental flap. The early functional result was poor (Chen's IV°). Patient died 27 weeks after replantation due to complications of coronaroplasty. The problems involved in replantation of hands of senile patients are discussed.

This article summarises activity of the Replantation Service for hand amputations in Poland in years 2017-2019. Over this period a total of 551 cases of total and subtotal amputations as well as other complex injuries to the hand were referred to the referenced centres. Of these, 330 referrals were accepted and 221 rejected, for various reasons. Among these accepted, there were 165 total (50%) and 131 subtotal (40%) amputations; 34 patients (10%) had other severe hand injuries. Vast majority of the patients constituted young and middle-age males. The most common was amputation of several digits and thumbs - a total of 251 cases (76%), followed by transmetacarpal - 30 (9%), forearm - 23 (7%) and wrist - 20 (6%) amputations. Replantation of amputated extremity was performed in 138 patients (42%), revascularization in 98 (30%) and in 45 (14%) primary repair of the complex injuries. In 26 cases (8%), coverage of tissue defects was performed, and in 23 (7%) primary terminalization. Survival rate was of a mean of 65% for replantations and 85% for revascularizations. Comparing to the previously reported period 2013-2017, the number of treated patients was similar, but structure of injuries differed: number of digital amputations increased (of 22 cases), whereas number of proximal amputations (hand, forearm and arm) significantly dropped (of 50 cases). The importance of Replantation Service, an informal structure, in saving limbs of severely mutilated patients was emphasised.

A permanent on-call service for hand amputation (Replantation Service) was established in 2010 as the initiative of the Council of Polish Society for Surgery of the Hand. It is run by three qualified hand centres in Trzebnica, Poznań and Szczecin. The aim of the study was to present a summary of the almost three-year activity of this service. Material and methods. Over this period, a total of 435 cases of total amputations, subtotal amputations and other severe injuries to the hand were referred. Of these, 290 referrals (67%) were accepted and 141 (33%) rejected. Among accepted, there were 100 total (34%) and 113 subtotal (39%) amputations; 81 patients had other, severe hand injuries, such as crush, degloving and extensive wounds involving all tissues. Results. Young and middle-age males constituted the majority of patients with the mean age of 42 years (range 2-82). The most common injury was amputation of several digits (including thumbs) in one patient - 141 cases (48%), followed by amputations from the metacarpal- to the proximal forearm level -115 (39%) and elbow/arm level - 9 cases (3%). Niniteen patients (6%) had multi-level amputation or injury of the involved extremity. Replantation of the completely amputated extremity was performed in 83 patients (28%), revascularization in 95 (32%) and in 59 (20%) primary repair of the complex injuries. In 23 cases, the repair of tissue defects was performed with flaps, mostly with greater omentum. Survival rate was of 84% for replantations and 88% for revascularizations. Conclusion. Establishing of the Replantation Service constituted a significant progress in organization of the management of the most severest upper limb injuries.
