AbstractFunction is the single most important determinant in the assessment of the results of extremity replantations. Accordingly, the indications for extremity replantations are based on the prediction of sustained satisfactory functional outcome. There are limited reports in the literature regarding replantations of major segments of lower extremities and, particularly, long-term results of those surgeries. However, this analysis is extremely important in refinement of indications for major limb replantations. In this article, evaluation of a patient 23 years after simultaneous replantation of both lower legs is presented.
