N2  - Replantation of lower extremities is an infrequent procedure, and is rarely indicated, due to the usual severity of the primary injury plus the possibility of good prosthetic substitution. We report a case of successful replantation of both legs in an 8-year-old boy (despite Aspergillus flavus septicemia) with followup of 5 years. This case suggests that leg replantation should be considered in young patients. This appears to be the second reported case of successful replantation of both legs.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
