  • Title: Replantation and Lengthening of a Lower Leg in a 7-Year-Old Child: A Case Report.

    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 2019 Nov; 58(6):1273-1275. PubMed ID: 31679680.
    Abstract:
    Replantation of the lower leg has controversial indications, but it may be considered in carefully selected patients. Although the function of prosthetic lower legs has been improved in recent decades, leg salvage remains a laudable goal. We present the case of a 7-year-old child who sustained a traumatic amputation at the level of the middle tibia with loss of the middle portion of the lower leg. We performed successful replantation, and tibia lengthening was performed starting 10 days after replantation and lasted 6 months.
