Abstract

The length of the stump and the quality of the soft tissue coverage are important for prosthesis fitting and mobility. In a high traumatic femoral amputation soft tissue reconstruction with a free musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi (LD) flap was performed to preserve bone length and provide proper tissue coverage. The extremely short stump was later on lengthened using a motorized intramedullary nail (Fitbone), and the achieved bone-lengthening was 14 cm. With the combined modalities of an LD-flap and Fitbone lengthening of the stump, the patient now has a useful limb function.
