Ten-Year Follow-Up of Lower Limb Replantation: Objective Evaluation With Gait Analysis.

Abstract

Abstract: The decision-making process for lower limb replantation involves several critical factors, such as age, comorbidities, ischemia time, type of injury, and psychosocial considerations. Advances in microsurgical techniques have led to a greater focus on enhancing functionality through limb salvage. To improve functional outcomes, it is essential to gain a better understanding of the current challenges in reconstruction and address them in future cases. Objective functional analysis of lower extremity replantation cases holds the potential to guide us in this endeavor. In this report, we present a lower limb replantation case with a 10-year follow-up, including objective functional evaluation with gait analysis.
