The skin is the main target of rejection in human hand allografts. Close clinicopathologic monitoring of the skin is the most reliable way to detect rejection in human composite tissue allografts.

Even though at present this double hand allograft, treated using a conventional immunosuppression, allowed to obtain results at least as good as those achieved in replanted upper extremities, longer follow-up will be necessary to demonstrate the final functional restoration.
