Summary

This study tests a small sensor placed in the muscle or tissue of a replanted limb after traumatic amputation surgery. The sensor continuously measures carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature to quickly detect if blood flow is blocked. If a problem is found, doctors can operate again to try to save the limb. The study involves 60 adults and aims to see if this monitoring method helps catch issues early.
