title: [Leg amputation with transposition of the plantar skin and calcaneous tuber in severe mechanical trauma complicated by shock].
abstract: Diaphyseal shin amputations with transposition of the plantar skin and calcanean tuber on the neurovascular bundle were performed upon 4 cases. The late results have been studied. The patients use prothesis with the support on the end of the stump, and walk without the walking-stick. The authors believe it possible to carry out such operations, under the conditions of a specialized medical institution, for severe injuries to the lower extremities complicated with shock after a thorough debridement of the wound.
