  • Title: Longitudinal growth after replantation of immature extremities on rats.
    Author: Hou SM, Wang TG, Liu MR.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1993 Sep; 18(5):828-32. PubMed ID: 8228053.
    Abstract:
    Replantation of right hindlimbs in 76 immature rats was performed to study the factors affecting longitudinal growth of replanted extremities. There was a significant difference in tibia length between the replanted limb and the contralateral normal limb. The difference was significantly influenced by the ischemic interval (2 vs 4 hours), but not by suture method (intact vessels, vascular anastomosis with 10-0 nylon or 11-0 nylon). The replantation of immature extremities should be promptly undertaken because of the vulnerability of the epiphysis to ischemic insult.
