Abstract:
A traumatic below-knee amputation with extensive soft-tissue loss and tibial bone exposure was salvaged by employing microsurgical free-tissue transfer to obtain stable soft-tissue coverage. The free flap covering the bony stump and knee function have done well with over 1 year follow-up.
