[Evaluation of replantations with regard to duration of treatment and sick-leave.].
- Ortopedicko-traumatologická klinika LF UPJS, Kosice.
The authors compare results of replantations performed at the Orthopaedic Clinic of the Medical Faculty, Safarik University in Kosice, Replantation Centres in Austria (which are part of traumatological hospitals) and results of replantations at the Clinic of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery in Brno. They base their evaluation on the number of the survival of replants, period of treatment and sickleave. In the course of 7 years (1991 through 1997) there were 157 patients operated on at the Orthopaedic Clinic of the Medical Faculty, Safarik University in Kosice for replantation and revascularization. The success rate of replantations has in the recent years increased from 72 % to 95 %. Six Replantation Centres in Austria report 286 such surgeries in the period of 10 years (1977-1987), the Clinic of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery in Brno reports 649 surgeries of this type in the course of 10 years (1982-1992) with 81 % success rate. The mean period of hospitalization of patients including physical therapy is approximately the same both in the Austrian centres and at the Orthopaedic Clinic of the Medical Faculty Safarik University in Kosice. Also the period of sick-leave is roughly the same ranging between 4 and 5 months. Key words: replantation outcomes, period of hospitalization, period of sick-leave.
