title: [Reconstruction of the lower extremity using partially destroyed or amputated parts].
abstract: We are often confronted with heavy destructions of the lower extremities, where there is no possibility to conserve the limb, because of the general or/and local conditions. In this situation it's wise to preserve vital rest structures that can be used for primary or secondary reconstructions of the injured limb. There are different possibilities, some of them are presented in the cases described in this article.
