Abstract

In this report, we present a case of successful replantation of 10‐digit complete amputation and results of postoperative rehabilitation in 7 years follow‐up. The rehabilitation program included psychotherapy, physical therapy, sensory re‐education, and measurements. At the 7 years postoperatively, the static two‐point discriminations of replanted digits ranged from 4 to 11 mm. Grasping powers ranged from 69 to 81 lb, and pinching powers ranged from 13 to 19 lb. The patient returned to the previous employment. Our experience has demonstrated that systemic postoperative rehabilitation and measurements could achieve satisfactory recovery of the sensory and motor functions of multiple‐digit replantation.
