Lower limb salvage to allow planned trans-tibial amputation
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryEarly, primary amputations are still necessary for certain patients sustaining high impact lower limb trauma. For cases with extensive proximal tibial bone loss a turn-up bone flap technique has been described to achieve a below-knee stump suitable for a prosthesis. However, in certain circumstances, for example if posterior soft tissues are injured, this type of reconstruction is not possible. This case report demonstrates that converting a severe open proximal tibial fracture to a successful below-knee amputation is also possible with acute limb shortening, flap cover and planned subsequent trans-tibial amputation.
