Transplantation
April 2020
Article Synopsis
- A 58-year-old man received bilateral proximal forearm transplants in 2012 and was monitored for 7 years to assess long-term functional outcomes.
- After the transplant, he experienced some complications, including hypertriglyceridemia and systemic hypertension, but managed to maintain a significant level of grip strength and overall function in his arms.
- By the end of the study, while he had improved limb strength and functional use of his elbow and wrist, he experienced some loss of fine motor skills and sensation, suggesting that proximal forearm transplantation can be beneficial for selected patients.
