A 5-year-old girl had a traumatic amputation of her left thigh and on the right side loss of the posterior part of the talus and parts of the posterior tibial nerve and artery. These defects were treated with free transplantation of the corresponding part of the talus from the amputated left leg and a vascularized graft from the left posterior tibial nerve and artery. 2 years later the girl was able to walk without crutches, the ankle mobility was good, and so was the sensibility in the sole of the foot.Downloads
