Midfoot replantation: case report.
The replantation of lower extremity amputations is uncommon. Foot replantation is quite rare because of the severity of the primary injury and its rare occurrence compared with lower leg and upper extremity amputations. A successful replantation in a young woman of a foot amputation at the talo-navicular-calcaneal area is reported with a 1-year postoperative follow-up revealing adequate restoration of foot function.
