Use of nailfold capillaroscopy for the assessment of patients undergoing digit replantation and revascularization
Our study showed that replantation patients who underwent two nerve repairs exhibited a well-regulated microvascular tone. However, we did not observe a statistically significant relationship between the number of nerve repairs and cold intolerance. Based on these findings, we highlight the potential of nailfold capillaroscopy in detecting microvascular changes following replantation and revascularization, which may contribute to a better understanding of the etiology of neurovascular complications.
