Abstract

Hand rehabilitation is essential to restore the maximal functional capacity of a patient after the injuries of hand or upper extremity, such as a fracture, tendon tear, crushing, or amputation. To achieve the purpose, hand rehabilitation should begin shortly after the completion of surgery. Especially after the replantation, functional recovery can be achieved by a careful inpatient evaluation providing a proper treatment, detecting problems, and updating treatment programs, and arranging discharge and follow-up cares by a hand rehabilitation team.

We report our experience of a successful hand rehabilitation of patient with a replantation surgery after the complete right forearm amputation. A comprehensive approach and systematized treatment programs are important for a hand rehabilitation.

Key Words: Hand rehabilitation, Forearm amputation, Replantation
