[Decrease in disability pension following replantation].

Between 1977 and 1986, 201 patients underwent replantations at the Accident Hospital in Salzburg. Of these 201 cases, 112 (55.7%) were work-related accidents. The first 47 cases were evaluated by two independent experts, comparing the actual occupational disability, i.e. impairment of earning capacity after replantation with the probable occupational disability payment had the replantation not been performed. In thirty-nine out of forty-seven cases, replantation had led to lower disability benefits.

[Economic aspects of replantation surgery].

Between 1977 and 1986 201 patients were treated by a replantation. 89 (44.3%) had a work accident. In order to find out the change in renumeration payed by the insurance company, 47 were seen at an follow up. They all had had a working accident and were insured by the "Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt, Landesstelle Salzburg". We compared the lifetime difference of degree of disablement with and without replantation. An average diminuation of rentpayment between 5 to 25% per patient was found after successful replantations.

High-pressure injection injury: a hand-threatening emergency.

A variety of tools mounted with high-pressure nozzles cause a typical pattern of hand injuries. Often the relatively mild initial symptoms conceal the actual degree of tissue damage and the need for prompt treatment. As illustrated by a case of dye impression, early extensive surgical exploration and radical removal of the injected agent are mandatory to minimize sequelae and to avoid mutilating complications. Pathophysiology and surgical management of this hand-threatening emergency are outlined.
