Abstract
Postoperative care is essential to upper extremity replantation success and includes careful and frequent monitoring of the replanted part. During this period, pharmacologic agents such as antithrombotic and anticoagulants may prevent complications such as arterial thrombosis and venous congestion. Dressings and therapy can also impact short- and long-term outcomes following replantation. This article reviews the literature to provide guidance for postoperative protocols following upper extremity replantation.
