TL;DRAbstract

Osteosynthesis and tendon repair are essential in upper extremity transplantation to optimally restore function. Transplant surgeons should be aware of all technical issues involved in osteosynthesis, tendon balancing, and tension setting as well as repair in an effort to optimize the function of the transplanted hand. Preoperative planning is vital to achieve good functional results. We present a case of successful osteosynthesis and side-to-side tendon repair, which led to a desirable functional outcome in hand transplantation.
