摘要
Cold induced arterial vasospasm was studied in ten patients with single digit replantation, by measuring finger systolic pressure at different finger temperatures. Each patient was examined three times; within 2 weeks of surgery, after 1 year and after 3 years. The replantations were performed using long arterial and venous grafts. Cold-related vasospasm is established during the first year after trauma, and thereafter seems to be persistent. It is concluded that the subjective cold intolerance, which affects all patients after digital amputation regardless of whether replantation is performed or not, is partly due to vasospasm. It is less pronounced in patients without pathological vasospasm in the replanted digit. Cold intolerance is likely to decrease during the first 2 years after replantation, but not to disappear completely.
