Long-Term Subjective and Functional Evaluation After Thumb Replantation With Special Attention to the Quick DASH Questionnaire and a Specially Designed Trauma Score Called Modified Mayo Score

Abstract

Functional results were independent of amputation level, length of ischemia, and patients age. Although sensory recovery and functional outcomes of the extrinsic muscle system were moderate, patients were able to use their thumb to perform work and daily living activities. The significant correlations of objective clinical tests and a mixed trauma score (modified Mayo score) with the Quick DASH allows the clinician to compare the postoperative result with the patient' functional competence in daily activities.
