  • Title: Successful replantation of both legs in a child--5-year followup: case report.
    Author: Yaffe B, Borenstein A, Seidman D, Amit Y.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1991 Feb; 31(2):264-7. PubMed ID: 1994090.
    Abstract:
    Replantation of lower extremities is an infrequent procedure, and is rarely indicated, due to the usual severity of the primary injury plus the possibility of good prosthetic substitution. We report a case of successful replantation of both legs in an 8-year-old boy (despite Aspergillus flavus septicemia) with followup of 5 years. This case suggests that leg replantation should be considered in young patients. This appears to be the second reported case of successful replantation of both legs.
