AB Functionality after upper limb replantation is a decisive factor when considering thesuccess of the intervention. Therefore, its evaluation is fundamental. The aim of this article was toconduct a systematic review of upper limb functions after replantation or reimplantation, seekingto identify reported functional outcomes as well as the level and mechanism of injury. To achievethis objective, a literature search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane and Web ofScience. Studies from the last 10 years which included patients with upper limb replantation andreported their functional outcomes were included. Out of 523 articles, 12 studies (n = 607) werefinally included. DASH and CISS were the most commonly used assessments to report functionaloutcomes. In conclusion, functional outcomes after replantation are assessed using widely varyingscales; therefore, due to this methodological variability, it is difficult to compare functional successbetween studies and further studies on functionality are needed to provide new data.
