Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes, health-related quality of life, and perceived satisfaction of patients after upper limb replantation, with special attention to the impact of surgical reintervention, rehabilitation, and return to work. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study including 62 patients treated at a referral center between 2021 and 2023. Patients were assessed using validated instruments (DASH, SF-12, Russell test) alongside clinical and sociodemographic data. Statistical analyses explored associations between reintervention, functionality, quality of life, and work reintegration. Results: Nearly half of the patients required reintervention, which was significantly associated with greater functional disability in occupational and recreational contexts and lower subjective use of the hand in daily activities. Return to work was linked to better functional scores, although quality of life measures showed limited association with functional outcomes. Conclusion: Surgical reintervention and failure to return to work are key factors associated with perceived disability after upper limb replantation. These findings highlight the need for individualized, multidisciplinary follow-up protocols that integrate functional, psychological, and occupational rehabilitation strategies to optimize patient recovery. application/pdf eng Frontiers Media Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences. 2026, V. 7 Atribución 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Disability perception Functional recovery Quality of life Rehabilitation outcomes Return to work Upper limb replantation Brazos-Cirugía Personas con discapacidad Incapacidad laboral Arm-Surgery People with disabilities Sick leave Upper limb replantation: functional disability and quality of life challenges info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences 7 THUMBNAIL Bueno-FRS_2026.pdf.jpg Bueno-FRS_2026.pdf.jpg IM Thumbnail image/jpeg 4611 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11719/4/Bueno-FRS_2026.pdf.jpg 974b4b05c3348a649f0065d445b0fe5c MD5 4 LICENSE license.txt license.txt text/plain; charset=utf-8 999 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11719/3/license.txt b295bcbce42e2caabeb0c623d3860c06 MD5 3 CC-LICENSE license_rdf license_rdf application/rdf+xml; charset=utf-8 908 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11719/2/license_rdf 0175ea4a2d4caec4bbcc37e300941108 MD5 2 ORIGINAL Bueno-FRS_2026.pdf Bueno-FRS_2026.pdf application/pdf 543853 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11719/1/Bueno-FRS_2026.pdf c3fc94a2b509f26e569f9c0d27dee8c5 MD5 1 10259/11719 oai:riubu.ubu.es:10259/11719 2026-05-27 02:05:33.164 Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos bubrep@ubu.es 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
