An unusual solution after bilateral lower extremity amputation.
The authors present a case of a 40-year-old male with devastating amputation trauma of both lower extremities. Reconstruction of the right lower extremity was solved by the unusual use of inserted vascularized bone-skin graft from the left crus with a simultaneous replantation of the right foot. The result after 3.5 years is preservation of one extremity with full knee mobility. The other lower extremity was fitted for thigh prosthesis.
