Can replantation of severed limb recover

summary

A few days ago, in front of my house, there was a child playing on the roadside. It seemed that a truck directly ran over him. At that time, the child's right arm was directly broken. I was afraid that I didn't dare to see it. Later, I heard from my neighbor that the child had undergone replantation of the severed limb. Now let's learn whether the lower limb replantation can recover.

Can replantation of severed limb recover

First, after replantation of the severed limb, the blood circulation was maintained in good condition and the wound was gradually healed after 2-3 weeks of observation. At this time, the limb was basically alive. Further, the healing of fracture, regeneration of peripheral nerve, recovery of limb sensation and joint activity.

Second, in order to recover the function of the replanted limb to a great extent, physical therapy and physical therapy should be performed, and the replanted limb should be checked regularly to decide whether functional reconstruction operation is needed. Close observation of the general situation: pay attention to whether there are poisoning, infection and renal failure and other phenomena, timely detection and treatment.

Third: the limb position should be slightly higher than the heart plane: observe the limb swelling, color, capillary filling reaction, temperature and pulse. If the amputated limb is not swollen and the temperature drops more than 3-4 degrees, it often indicates that there is partial arterial obstruction, so surgical exploration and treatment should be carried out immediately. The room temperature should be kept at 22-25 ℃. If the room temperature is too low, cold stimulation can cause vasospasm.

matters needing attention

After replantation of severed fingers, the function of the affected fingers will be limited to a certain extent. Functional exercise can be done in combination with local doctors. Postoperative rehabilitation exercise is also very important. Generally, the more the distal segment is severed, the more difficult the operation is, but the better the effect is, but few of them return to normal.
