Preserving the lower extremity after severe devolving injuries to meet the patient's demand in two cases

We treated two patients suffering a severe degloving injury of the lower extremity with degloved skin as a full thickness flap in order to preserve both the extremity itself as well as the function of the lower limb according to the individual requirements of the patients. Consequently, we could enable the patient to pursue their professional musical training requiring subtle use of the lower extremity as well as ensuring sufficient function of the lower extremity in everyday use.
