Abstract

A 42-year-old woman presented with avulsion amputation of her right leg 14 cm below the knee joint and a hemihand amputation of the opposite hand. Two free flaps, taken from the amputated foot, were used to cover the injured extremities. The sole fillet flap was used to preserve length and cover the injured leg, while the dorsal fillet flap covered the injured hand and provided ectopic storage for the great toe. The great toe was later transferred on a pedicle for thumb reconstruction. Spare parts surgery is now a well-accepted technique. This case demonstrates maximum utilization of amputated parts for functional and aesthetic reconstruction.
