  • Title: Lower extremity replant--a preliminary report.
    Author: Mamakos MS.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 1980 Jan; 4(1):48-52. PubMed ID: 6990853.
    Abstract:
    The amputated lower right extremity of an 11-year-old girl, severed 10 cm above the knee, was reimplanted on New Year's Eve, 1978. Three skin grafting procedures were required. Seven months later, all wounds healed. There was callus formation at the fracture site and soft tissue contracture at the amputation level. The patient is up and about on a partial weight-bearing brace with a molded foam shoe to protect her foot. There is excellent circulation in the entire lower extremity. At 6 months postinjury, cable sural nerve grafts for sciatic nerve repair were done elsewhere. This will be the subject of a subsequent report.
