The patient described in this paper, considerably younger than those in previous reports, demonstrated some of the hazards of replantation of extremities. However, her remarkable degree of reinnervation confirms a clinical impression that the indications for replantation should be more liberal in children than in adults.Case ReportA 21-month-old, 9.8-kg. girl was admitted to the hospital on April 10, 1965, approximately 20 minutes after amputation of the . . .This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
