Abstract
Microvascular techniques allowing free tissue transfer have expanded the indications for limb salvage in tumor patients. Preoperative planning should predict the type of deficit anticipated. Specific techniques for soft tissue, skeletal, neurovascular, and composite tissue transfer are discussed. While demanding, the use of living autogenous tissue gives the potential for biologic adaptivity and life-long durability.
