    Author: Lebedev LV, Vavilov VN, Bogomolov MS, Gorbunov GN, Shlomin VV.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1983 Nov; 131(11):110-7. PubMed ID: 6675244.
    Abstract:
    Under study were blood circulation, innervation and functions of distal parts of upper arms in 114 patients operated upon for traumatic abjunction and severe injuries of large segments. The state of blood circulation was found to be satisfactory within the terms of from 4 to 27 months. The degree of the extremity reinnervation was dependent on the level of the nerve injury and when observed longer than a year it was found to repair up to the level of hypesthesia without hyperpathia. The functional results of such operations were noted to depend on the character of trauma, the completeness and quality of repair of damaged nerves and tendons, on adequacy of rehabilitation therapy in the postoperative period.
