Evaluating Hand Function After Successful Finger Replantation Including Grip Strength, Movement, Sensation, and Pain

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the functional outcomes of patients who have undergone successful finger replantation after traumatic digit injuries. The study focuses on measuring how well the finger functions using both objective tests like grip strength, range of motion, and sensory recovery, and subjective reports from patients about pain, satisfaction, and daily activity performance. Various scoring systems are used to standardize assessments, recognizing that success depends on restoring function beyond just saving the finger. This observational study looks at patients with multiple digit replantations. It does not involve any treatment interventions but collects data on hand function at least six months after replantation. The main measurements include finger flexion and extension, grip and pinch strength, range of motion, sensory recovery, pain intensity, and the DASH score, which reflects disability of the arm, shoulder, and hand. Participants will undergo assessments at least six months post-replantation to evaluate their finger function and recovery. These include physical tests of movement and strength, sensory testing, and questionnaires about pain and daily function. The study tracks these outcomes to better understand how well replantation restores hand function after traumatic amputation, with the total participation period depending on the timing of the follow-up evaluations.
