Objective: The key to increasing the success rate of limb preservation lies in timely restoration of the blood supply to the severed limb, This study examines the clinical effect of a disposable intravenous infusion device as a temporary vascular shunt device which can quickly restore blood circulation in the replantation of severed limbs.
Methods: A retrospective review of all amputated major limbs in our department from May 2005 to May 2022. Patients treated with intravenous infusion tubes as temporary vascular shunt devices were included in group A(shunt group ) and those who could not use temporary intravascular shunt devices were included in group B (no shunt group).

One of the primary challenges in hand microsurgical reconstruction lies in addressing severe hand injuries, particularly those involving multiple finger amputations, as autologous replantation might not fully restore hand functionality. In such scenarios, fully shaped reconstruction of a severed finger combined with Ectopic banking could yield superior reconstructive outcomes and enhance the amputated limb's function. This case report presents a unique approach that combines ectopic replantation of an amputated finger with interphalangeal reconstruction methods to restore both the form and function of the hand.
