Observation ofUncomfortable Symptoms
Abdominal bloating, anorexia, nausea, constipation and body aches, etc. at the same time depression, dysphoria, and other emotional uctuations due to long-term bedtime should be observed and treated in time to avoid vascular crisis.

mal, from the fourth day, it could be changed to observe and record every 2h. Generally speaking, blood circulation of reconstructed ngers would be stable after 7–10days.
Changes ofColor
If blood circulation of reconstructed ngers is normal, the color would be the same as that of normal nger or be slight red. If the color changes to pale, it means arterial blood sup­ply disorder, and if the color changes to dark purple, it means

Local Observation ofReconstructed Fingers
First 72h after the operation is a high incidence period of vascular crisis and it is required to observe and record the changes in blood circulation every hour. If everything is nor-
The temperature of reconstructed ngers would be 1–2°C higher than normal ones. If temperature decreases, the pos­sibility of vascular crisis could be judged by a combination of changes in color.

Changes ofSkin Tension
If skin tension drops apparently, even nger (toe) pulp is shriveled, it means arterial blood supply disorder. If skin ten­sion increased signicantly, even tension blisters appear, it means venous blood supply disorder.
Blood-Letting Test
When there is arterial blood supply disorder, no blood ow or only small amount of dark red blood would ooze. When there is venous blood supply disorder, blood would ooze rap­idly, which would be dark red or purple-black venous blood rst and then be bright red arterial blood.
Observation ofWound Bleeding
The dressing should be kept as dry as possible, if the dress­ing is rapidly permeated and active bleeding is observed, it must be treated in time, most of which could be stopped by local pressure. However, if it is bleeding around the anasto­mosed site, it must be treated carefully. First is to avoid local pressure leading to vascular crisis, second is to avoid exces­sive blood loss leading to anemia and even shock, once the treatment is not effective, it is necessary to go into the opera­tion room for exploration.
8.1.2 Drug Treatment
Prevention ofInfection
Most nger reconstruction belongs to type I incision opera­tion except for emergency construction, however, once
infected, it may lead to failure of surgery. Therefore, prophy­lactic use of antibiotics is routinely recommended, which means the use of the rst generation cephalosporin to prevent infection 24h before and after surgery.
Antipasmodic Therapy
Antipasmodic therapy is a routine treatment after microsur­gery which is effective for the treatment and prevention of postoperative vasospasm.
Anticoagulation Therapy
Anticoagulation therapy can prevent postoperative embo­lism, which is still a routinely recommended treatment and should be used from 24 h after surgery. It is not recom­mended immediate use of heparin or low molecular heparin which would easily cause bleeding in the surrounding tissue and result in vascular crisis. And the drug should be stopped in time if wound bleeding signicantly increased or other tissue bleeding happens.
Postoperative Analgesia
Pain causes the body to release 5-HT which has a strong vaso­constrictor effect and would lead to vasospasm if it is not treated in time. So postoperative analgesia is very necessary. The routine method is let the anesthesiologist install a postop­erative analgesia pump and assisted with parecoxib, com­pound diclofenac sodium, and other analgesia, even opioids could be used when necessary. For those with lower pain domain, spirit of high tension or infants and children, hiber­nation therapy could be used for analgesia when necessary.

Neurotrophic Therapy
Neurotrophic medicines could be used after surgery such as mecobalamin, etc.
Blood Volume Augmentation Therapy
It is generally recommended to use crystoloid solution with 40mL/kg/day to expand blood volume to avoid vascular cri­sis after nger reconstruction.
8.1.3 Judgment andManagement ofVascular Crisis
Vascular crisis is a pathological phenomenon in which anas­tomotic blood vessels are blocked and the survival of trans­planted and replanted tissues is endangered, which is divided into arterial crisis and venous crisis in clinic, according to the pathological classication it can be divided into vascular embolism type and vasospasm type. The common vascular crisis in clinic includes ve types: arterial thrombosis, arte­rial spasm, venous thrombosis, venous spasm, and arteriove­nous thrombosis. Vascular crisis is one of the most common and dangerous complications after microsurgery which would directly lead to failure if it is not treated in time.
Arterial Crisis
Arterial Spasm
Most of them occur within 72h after surgery often due to insufcient blood volume, pain, cold, mental stress or chil­dren crying, and other factors. The clinical manifestation of arterial spasm is the color of the severed nger changes from ruddy to pale, skin temperature drops, the capillary reaction slows down, nger pulp is shriveled, and elasticity drops which is not easy to be distinguished from arterial thrombo­sis in early stage.
Treatments: Arterial spasm should be rst considered once arterial crisis occurs. To look for the cause of spasm rst and carry out symptomatic treatment:if the room tem­perature is low, then raise it in time and strengthen the heat preservation measures; if the spasm is caused by pain, anal­gesic drugs should be given in time; if the spasm caused by changes of mood, the sedative should be used in time, etc. After the above treatments, papaverine of 30–60mg should be immediately intramuscularly injected, generally speak­ing, spasms can be relieved after 20–30 min. If it is not relieved after 30–60min, refractory spasm or arterial throm­bosis should be considered, and surgical exploration should be performed immediately. We have encountered and reported that the blood supply of replanted or reconstructed ngers would be restored and nally survived without explo­ration after performing brachial plexus block anesthesia, therefore nerve root block anesthesia also could be a method
of treatment for arterial spasm. During the operation, if arte­rial spasm is observed, papaverine could be injected into the vascular outer membrane of the spasm segment or excised it, the wound could be applied with warm salt water and papav­erine wet gauze. If it still cannot be alleviated, the subcutane­ous tunnel should be completely cut open, after the thrombosis is eliminated, the method of segmental hydraulic expansion, external membrane antipulling, continuous appli­cation of wet and warm papaverine could be adopted. After operation, in addition to routine treatment, hibernation mix­ture should be used to make patients fall asleep and relieve anxiety. If spasm occurs again, it is generally difcult to be treated but should be excised and repaired with blood vessel transplantation.
Arterial Thrombosis
Arterial thrombosis is usually caused by incomplete debride­ment, poor quality of anastomosis, high tension, local hema­toma compression, excessive swelling and compression of nger body, prolonged arterial spasm, and local infection which is common within 24h and hard to be distinguished from arterial spasm.
Treatments: Once arterial thrombosis is found or sus­pected, rapid intravenous infusion of 250mL normal saline plus 200,000 units of urokinase or intravenous injection of 20 mL normal saline plus 100,000 units of urokinase from brachial artery, if no improvements in 15–30min, exploration should be performed immediately. During exploration, the factors such as hematoma expression or skin compression should be relieved rst. Embolus usually extends to the proxi­mal end which could be still seen even after 3–5mm resec­tion. At this time, the surgeons could use two micro tweezers to gently pull the thrombus to the distal end and prevent it from breaking. When the thrombus is completely pulled out, a powerful blood spraying can be seen. If the proximal throm­bus is not completely removed, it should be blocked again with vascular clamp, and occulent substance can still be seen after rinsing, then the segment of the artery should be excised until the artery with a bright and complete lumen and a powerful blood spraying can be seen. After the above treat­ments, if the blood vessel can be anastomosed without ten­sion, it can be anastomosed again directly. If there is defect, blood vessel transplantation should be performed.
Venous Crisis
The majority of clinical venous crisis are caused by venous thrombosis which is also the most common vascular crisis after nger reconstruction. Venous crisis is mainly caused by low-quality of vein anastomosis, tortuous vein, high tension, unreasonable ap design, extensive swelling of nger(toe) body. Once venous crisis occurs, it should be dealt with in time, otherwise, it will quickly develop into arteriovenous crisis.

8 Postoperative Management forFinger Reconstruction
Treatments: If the reconstructed nger is seriously swol­len and has tension blisters, the affected limb can be raised and tension blisters can be punctured, and also incisions at the distal end of toe body to relieve the reux pressure; If the skin is too tight, suture far away from the anastomosed site could be removed, and remove the blood scab. At the same time, rapid intravenous infusion of 250 mL normal saline plus 200,000units of urokinase or intravenous injection of 20mL normal saline plus 100,000units of urokinase from brachial artery, if no improvements in 15–30min, explora­tion should be performed immediately. During the explora­tion, 2–3 mm at the proximal side could be resected and ushed with 1: 100 heparin normal saline until the lumen is bright and complete. Embolus usually extends to the distal end which could be still seen even after 3–5mm resection. At this time, the surgeons could use two micro tweezers to gen­tly pull the thrombus to the distal end and prevent it from breaking. When the thrombus is completely pulled out, venous blood will spill out. Sometimes exploration is too late, venous thrombus extends too long to the distal end that is difcult to be taken out with forceps, the surgeons can squeeze the toe from far to near so that the thrombus could be extruded and continuous venous blood ow can be seen. After the above treatments, if the blood vessel can be anasto­mosed without tension, it can be anastomosed again directly. If there is a defect, blood vessel transplantation should be performed. Sometimes arterial crisis and venous crisis exist at the same time, so we must be ready to judge and deal with them both.
Treatments after Exploration
In order to prevent the occurrence of vascular crisis again, while strengthening psychological counseling, sedation treatment generally can be given, commonly used hiberna­tion mixture, so that patients can fall asleep and get adequate rest. Since the vascular intima is injured in different degrees after exploration, thrombolytic treatment with small dose of urokinase can be used, 100,000 units of urokinase plus 100mL of normal saline can be used once or twice a day, for 3–5days. In patients with condition, hyperbaric oxygen can be added 3 days after exploration which can be used 1–2 times a day, and continue for 7–10days.
8.2 Cause Analysis andPrevention
ofVascular Crisis
With the development and improvement of nger recon­struction, many scholars have reported a high success rate, but there are still some cases of failure. The incidence of vas­cular crisis after reconstruction is still high which is an important factor that affects the success rate of surgery.
8.2.1 Cause Analysis
There are many reasons for vascular crisis, which may be single or multiple exist at the same time, which are summa­rized as follows:
1. Physical mechanical factor: It is a major risk factor for vascular crisis including pedicle compression, excessive skin suture tension, skin graft compression, vascular pedicle tortuous, hematoma compression, etc.
2. Mental and psychological factor: Among the patients of nger reconstruction, a large part of them have experi­enced failure of nger replantation which has left a cer­tain psychological shadow more or less. So a lot of patients and their families are in the spirit of irrepress­ible tension which would lead to anxiety, difculty in falling asleep, overstimulation of the sympathetic nerve, increased blood catecholamine concentration, and con­traction of small vascular smooth muscle, resulting in spasm or even intractable spasm.
3. Vascular variation in the foot: The most common blood supply system in toe-to-hand transfer is the dorsalis pedics artery- deep plantar artery-rst dorsal metatarsal artery system. Variation of dorsalis pedics artery is ne or lack of, which reported between 4% and 6.7%. If there is no preoperative CTA or MRA to assess variation accurately, it will increase the risk of postoperative vas­cular crisis since the difculty in directly anastomosis with radial artery needs a vein graft bridge vessel.
4. Intraoperative vascular damage: It will happen in the process of dissociating tissue and dissection, surgeons do not protect blood vessels enough, operate roughly, pull blood vessels too much, forceps clamp damages, or even cut or ligate blood vessels by mistake.
5. Unreasonable design of nger-toe joint ap: Since the diameters of ngers and toes are not the same, the ap must be designed reasonably. Otherwise, the skin suture tension with be too large or the soft tissue will be exposed which needs to be covered by skin graft. It is easy to cause mechanical compression or exposure leading to occurrence of vascular crisis.
6. Vascular crisis cannot be identied and explored in time: Vascular crisis of nger reconstruction usually occurs within 1–3days after surgery, and the high incidence is within 12h. Therefore, an experienced nurse should be arranged to observe the blood circulation every hour within 24h after surgery and record it. Once any abnor­mality is found, it should be reported to the surgeon for immediate treatment. If there is no improvement after conservative treatment, surgical exploration should be carried out immediately. According to incomplete statis­tics, try to explore as early as possible, the earlier the

117
exploration is the higher the success rate will be, and the prognosis will be poor after more than 8h.
7. Poor quality of vascular anastomosis: The level of microvascular anastomosis is an important factor affect­ing the patency rate of blood vessels. The common prob­lems in clinic include uneven suture distance, vascular wall cavitation suture, high tension suture, vascular tor­tuosity, vascular intima injury, incomplete ligation, etc., which may lead to vascular crisis.
8. Unreasonable postoperative dressing change: When changing the dressing, it must be done gently, avoid cold stimulation, remove the blood clot around the wound with warm saline, avoid irritating disinfectants such as alcohol, etc. Some surgeons give the dressing work to inexperienced doctors or interns who may operate roughly, use irritating disinfectant or cold saline to wash the wound, or not remove the blood scab around the wound in time which may cause spasm.
9. Unreasonable postoperative medication: The early use and too large dose of heparin after surgery will cause extensive bleeding, subcutaneous hematoma leading to vascular crisis, even hemorrhagic shock in severe cases. According to our experience, anticoagulant therapy may be avoided if vascular anastomosis is of high quality or it is better to be used 12h later after surgery and it should be stopped if excessive bleeding of the wound is found.
10. Higher incidence of vascular crisis in children: Since children’s toe tissue structure is small and the difculty in dissociating blood vessels that mean the incidence of vas­cular injury is high, coupled with the poor corporation after surgery lead to higher incidence of vascular crisis.
11. Get out of bed too early: In general, patients should stay in bed for 7–10 days after nger reconstruction. But some patients have poor self-discipline after surgery, and their defecation habit is not well trained, they secretly get out bed to defecate which would lead to vas­cular crisis because of the position change.
12. Smoking: Some patients have a long history of smoking before surgery, due to anxiety and smoking addiction attack, they smoke secretly after surgery, or someone of visitors smoke which may lead to vascular crisis. Therefore, postoperative smoking ban must be paid enough attention.
Prevention ofVascular Crisis
1. Inquire the history in detail to understand the patients’ mental state, sleep condition and smoking history, etc. Positive psychological guidance will make them elimi­nate tension and actively corporate with treatment. Smoking patients should be forced to quit smoking, and bed defecation should be well-trained.
2. Careful preoperative evaluation of vascular condition of the foot by Doppler ultrasound, CTA or MRA so as to be condent in surgical design and operation.
3. In the process of dissociation, the surgeon should be care­ful and gentle to prevent vascular damage, especially in those with variation, the surgeon should be calm and take various measures to rebuilt vascular circulation.
4. Precise and accurate anastomosis should be carried out for each blood vessel, and the proportion of arteries and veins should be coordinated. Vessels with the same or similar diameter should be selected for anastomosis as far as possible so as to avoid tension and vascular tortu­ous. Wrong anastomosis of arteries and veins must be avoided.
5. Reasonable preoperative design for donor and recipient site is an important fact for successful reconstruction.
6. In the process of dissociation of toes, it is inappropriate to carry too much subcutaneous tissue, especially around the vascular pedicle, which would cause compression.
7. Strengthen training and communication between doctors and nurses, enhance postoperative observation of blood circulation and management experience, so as to nd vas­cular crisis and treat it in time.
8. Ward is rest environment for patients that should be light, clear, quiet, sweet, comfortable, etc. Sedative drugs or hibernation therapy could be applied for those who are with mental strain and children. Smoking is forbidden.

Functional Rehabilitation forFinger Reconstruction

Abstract
Rehabilitation is to make those who lost some function caused by illness, injury disability to restore and recon­struct as soon as possible by means of coordinated appli­cation of medicine, education, society, and occupation, etc. Rehabilitation should not only focus on the disease but also on the whole person which should be comprehen­sive recovery from physical, psychological, social, and economical capacity.
Finger reconstruction is an effective method to recon­struct the damaged nger body caused by mechanical injuries, trafc accidents, and other causes. However, reconstruction surgery would just obtain the recovery of appearance, functional rehabilitation still relies on sys­tematic physical rehabilitation after surgery.

9.1 Staging ofFunction Rehabilitation After Finger Reconstruction
Both of the reconstructed nger and the walking ability of donor foot require the rehabilitation exercise by stages. The rehabilitation task of early stage is to reduce muscular atro­phy and joint contractures, promote tissue recovery, and maintain health. One to 2 weeks after surgery is rehabilita­tion intervention stage for rehabilitation team to know about the cause of injury, surgical method, and demands of sur­geons and patients to make early function assessment and judgment of function expectation. Proper placement of shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints could prevent stiffness of joints. Psychological counseling would alleviate anxiety and depression of the patients and their families which would also obtain understanding and cooperation with rehabilita­tion plan. Physiotherapy measures are not very needed in this
stage. Three to 4 weeks after surgery, in this stage, physical measures should be carried out according to the principle of early rehabilitation after fractures and nerve injury. Six weeks after surgery, physical measures should be carried out according to the principle of middle and later rehabilitation after fractures and nerve injury. Sometimes special reformed tools could be used for better activity of daily living recov­ery, such as extended toothbrushes and combs. Otherwise, walking in bed with soft soles or walking in bed mat with bare feet for 5–10min/tid is also needed.
9.2 Common Rehabilitation Methods
There are many functional rehabilitation methods for nger reconstruction, including physical therapy, exercise therapy, occupational therapy, traditional rehabilitation, occupational and social rehabilitation, articial limbs, psychological ther­apy, and rehabilitation robots.
1. Physical therapy (Figs. 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3) It is a method that takes use of natural or articial factors, such as elec­tricity, light, sound, magnetism, heat, and motion act on the body to reach the goal of rehabilitation which could be chosen as needed: (1) To promote growth of granula­tion tissue and healing of skin and soft tissue is usually with ultraviolet, infrared, and laser irradiation; (2) To pro­mote healing of fractures is usually with ultrashort wave electrotherapy and magnetic therapy; (3) Ultraviolet and laser irradiation are often used for supercial inamma­tion, and short wave, ultrashort wave, and microwave are often used for deep inammation; (4) Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation could be used in 2–4 weeks after operation to improve skin nutrition, relieve swelling, and pain; (5) Audio frequency-current therapy could be used to soften scar and improve itching and pain symptoms which should pay attention to the position of electrodes and feeling of patients to avoid electric burning; (6) Ultrasound therapy is performed by mobile method,

(a) ROM exercise: Each joint of hand has different con-
tracture law because of its special structure and func­tion: (1) Thumb is prone to adduction contracture which would lose abduction and opposition function; (2) Collateral ligaments of metacarpophalangeal joints are relaxed during exion and tense during extension while interphalangeal joints are just oppo­site, so metacarpophalangeal joints are easily to con­struct in extended or overextended position and interphalangeal joints are easily to construct in ex-

ion position. Rehabilitation method: (1) Active or passive motion, or a combination of both can contract brous tissue and recover joint function gradually in the early postoperative period (1 week after surgery); (2) If joint function cannot be restored after early exercise, manipulation or joint release can be per­formed after anesthesia, and then early continuous passive movement (CPM) can be performed after surgery. CPM is a relatively new treatment method which x affected limb on special equipment that drives the limb to do CPM for a long time, mainly for prevention and treatment of joint adhesion and con­tracture caused by braking, to promote the repair of articular cartilage, ligament, and tendon, and reduce swelling.
Attention when applying CPM: (1) The method of exer-
cise can be selected according to the degree of articu­lar contracture adhesion. In the early stage, when passive movements of joints show greater elasticity
121
which will cause tension and pain, combination of passive and active movements can be used. In those with long course, since the lack of elasticity, passive movements will not cause pain, joint traction and other methods are needed to restore joint function gradually; (2) Range of motion exercise or CPMs should be stared 2–3 days after joint release, not con­tinuous xation; (3) New pain should be avoided that would lead to new injuries and muscle spasms which could affect the outcome.
(b) Muscle function exercise: Posttraumatic immobiliza-
tion and the cessation of movement of adjacent joints can rapidly lead to incapacitating muscular atrophy except direct muscle damage or damage to its inner­vation. Incapacitating muscular atrophy is usually reversible, but there is degeneration of the muscle in those long-term and severe muscle atrophy which is irreversible, such as the median nerve and ulnar nerve injuries, of which intrinsic hand muscles usually can­not be recovered that still left to be solved. Muscle contractions are usually divided into isotonic and iso­metric contractions which are necessary for daily life and also can be used to prevent and treat muscle atro­phy. In recent years, there are also isokinetic exer­cises and hand internal muscle exercises using special equipment: (1) Isotonic exercise: Exercise muscles with isotonic contractions which can be done by pul­ley system equal tension moment arm components and so on; (2) Isometric exercise: Exercise muscles with isometric contractions, such as the use of walls and strength training equipment for isometric con­tractions, further use of equipment for multiple angle isometric exercises in order to achieve hand exercises in various aspects; (3) Isokinetic exercise: Using a special isokinetic training equipment when exercis­ing, the limb pushes the lever of the device around
