Abstract

ABSTRACT

A seven-year-old-boy received a digit replantation after 26 hours of warm ischemia and showed good recovery of motor and sensory functions. In the case reported, replantation was performed after a much longer ischemic time than had been considered an indication for the procedure in previous reports. Successful replantation and revascularization can thus be achieved, even in cases of extensive warm ischemia.
