Nine Krukenberg procedures were performed in 5 bilateral amputee patients suffering severe electrical injuries of both hands and wrists. The surgical procedure yielded functioning pincers in 7 of 9 operations. The patients could perform their daily activities very well and showed pronounced improvement in their self-confidence, self-reliance, and quality of life. The postoperative rehabilitation of these patients was not difficult. The Krukenberg procedure should be considered a substitute for prosthesis, especially in developing countries.
