Predictors of readmission after outpatient plastic surgery.

abstract：:The concept of early "functional" soft-tissue coverage is demonstrated in three cases of severe skeletonizing avulsion/contusion injuries of the upper extremity, including the replantation of a "frozen" arm. According to the MESS score, all extremities would have been allocated to the amputation group. Therapeutic str...
