Hand functions were grouped as excellent, good, fair & poor. Nerve injury is tested using both sensory and motor components while assessment of the hand and fingers vascularity is carried out by clinical study, pulse oximeter and hand held Doppler. All cases were followed up in first postoperative year for vascularity, sensation and functions of the hand. 15 patients over a period of a two year of clinical follow up with rehabilitation program, there was marked reduction in morbidity and mortality with satisfactory significant hand functions and no ischemia, neuroma or tendon ruptures were observed during the follow-up period.
