Abstract
The reason for thrombosis in replantation is very often the injured intima of the vessel ends. The vessel ends should be excised until absolutely normal tissue is reached. In many cases of oblique cutting, avulsion or crushing it is then difficult or impossible to approximate the ends and venous grafts are employed to avoid undue skeletal shortening.
