Replantation of the thumb is more difficult than that of the fingers since the palmar vessels are out of the plane of the hand. A simplified technique is presented, in which vein graft extensions are anastomosed to the proper digital vessels prior to osteosynthesis. Utilizing this technique, arterial reconstruction can proceed at a more rapid rate with fewer positioning problems.

Significance: Imaging flow cytometry allows highly informative multi-point cell analysis for biological assays and medical diagnosis. Rapid processing of the imaged cells during flow allows real-time classification and sorting of the cells. Off-axis holography enables imaging flow cytometry without chemical cell staining but requires digital processing to the optical path delay profile for each frame before the cells can be classified, which slows down the overall processing throughput.
