Amputation salvage with microvascular free flap from the amputated extremity
The Journal of Trauma
|March 1, 1987
Abstract:
Microvascular surgery has allowed creative primary reconstruction using undamaged parts of amputated limbs as donor sites. We present a case of lower extremity below-knee amputation salvage with a free flap of heel, calcaneus, and soft tissues from the amputated lower leg, ankle, and foot supplied by the posterior tibial neurovascular bundle.
