Short answer
Work in this area addresses vascularised composite allotransplantation of the upper extremity, functional outcomes, and limb salvage.
TL;DR
- Work in this area addresses vascularised composite allotransplantation of the upper extremity, functional outcomes, and limb salvage.
What this work covers
Vascularised composite allotransplantation involves transplanting a composite of skin, muscle, bone, vessels, and nerve as a functional unit. Hand transplantation is among the most studied applications, and the research questions concern immunosuppression, rejection surveillance, functional recovery, and how outcomes should be measured.
Related work addresses limb salvage, the decision between reconstruction and amputation, and the reconstructive techniques used to preserve function in severe upper extremity injury.
