Retrograde versus anterograde palm venous anastomosis in avulsion distal fingertip trauma: Functional and therapeutic outcomes (FTO) analysis

Long-term outcomes of toe replantation: A review of ten cases

“…Therefore, retrograde replantation was used to avoid position changes during surgery, which was easy and greatly improved the quality of the anastomoses and decreased the time in surgery. 22,23 The steps in the retrograde replantation procedure were accomplished in the following order: debridement, the distal retrograde passage of the Kirschner wire at the severed end of the toe, repair of the flexor tendon, anastomosis of digital arteries and nerves, internal fixation of the bone fracture, repair of the extensor tendon, anastomosis of the dorsal subcutaneous vein, and suture of the dorsal skin. 2) Only blood vessels that were in good condition underwent anastomosis.…”
