Effect of modified treatment after replantation of severed finger on survival rate and incidence of vascular crisis

Abstract

Objective To analyze the effect of modified treatment after replantation of severed fingers on the incidence of vascular crisis and survival rate of replantation. Methods 60 patients taking replantation of severed fingers at our hospital from January, 2015 to January, 2018 were randomly divided into a study group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). The control group were routinely treated; and the study group took modified treatment. The clinical effects were compared between the two groups. Results The survival rate of replantation and the incidences of venous and artery crisis were 96.67%, 3.33%, and 6.67% in the study group, which were better than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The postoperative pain degree, comfort, and hospital stay were (2.72±0.81), (82.46±1.97), and (8.43±0.92) d in the study group, which were better than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The scores of social function, emotional function, material life and somatic function were (76.53±7.56), (75.47±6.73), (74.83±6.72), and (73.62±6.61) in the study group, which were better than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion The improved treatment after replantation of severed finger can effectively improve the survival rate of replantation, reduce the probability of vascular crisis, shorten the length of hospital stay, and enhance comfort and quality of life.
