What is it about?
Hand transplantation and advances in the field of prostheses have opened new frontiers in the restoration of hand function among bilateral hand amputees (BHA). There is only scarce literature evaluating the health utility (HU) and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) gained by bilateral hand composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA) or prosthesis over amputation. The study was focused on BHA restored with prosthesis or CTA.
