abstract="Traumatic forequarter amputation is a rare and devastating injury in which the arm, scapula, clavicle, and pectoral muscles are avulsed from the body by a tremendous force. The case of a man who survived this injury is presented. Replantation at this level has not been successful: treatment recommended consists of control of hemorrhage, wound debridement, ligation of vessels and nerves, coverage of their exposed stumps with muscle, unless excess contamination is present; electrical or cosmetic prostheses can be fitted later.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
