- Replantation of a severed limb is an elective procedure and, as such, the decision to carry it out must be assessed anew in each case. The arm is progressively more valuable from shoulder to fingers', the leg, on the contrary, is progressively of less significance. Especially, the replantation of severed hand at the level of carpal bones or wrist is technically more difficult than at the level of forearm or arm. We have a successful case of replanted hand at the level of intercarpal joint without bony shortening. Key Words: Replantation of the Amputated Hand, Microsurgery
