Limb Transplantation and Targeted Reinnervation: A Practical Comparison

Abstract

Limb transplantation and targeted reinnervation are complimentary but very different approaches for restoring function to an upper limb amputee. This article reviews the advantages and limitations of both of these procedures, and highlights the reconstructive obstacles in the treatment of upper limb amputees.

Keywords
