The purpose of this study was to assess the vascularity of injured arteries from traumatically amputated digits using arteriographic and histopathological analysis. METHODS: 25 amputated digits were included in the study. Crush and avulsion injuries were evaluated according to the Venkatramani classification. The amputated arteries were dissected under a microscope, and the arterial route determined with a transducer. Arteriography using fluoroscopy was evaluated by a radiologist. The area thought to be damaged was dissected and 2-mm slices taken for histopathological examination, and scored using the parameters of fibrin accumulation, oedema, separation, and bleeding. RESULTS: Arterial flow was observed in 6 of 7 in the avulsion group. In the crush group, arterial flow was observed in 11 of 16 cases. On histopathological examination in all cases there were 2 or more findings of either oedema, fibrin formation, bleeding or hernia. These findings were more common in the crush group then the avulsion group. CONCLUSIONS: The intravascular introduction of radio contrast agents to amputated digit prior to replantation may give further information particularly in avulsion amputations. | URI: | https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/pdf/10.1142/S2424835518500261 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11851/717 |
