Abstract
The case of a patient with sequels of a right Syme amputation and a left replanted upper tibial amputation was treated with elective cross-transfer of the left foot and ankle to the right distal tibial stump, and the left below-knee (BK) stump was resurfaced with a latissimus dorsi free flap. The patient regained independent walking capacity with a left BK prosthesis at 8 months postoperatively.
