Re-implantation of foot and ankle following crush injury of the distal leg with 22 cm bone deficit: A case report.

Introduction/importance: Crush injury with extensive soft tissue damage to an extremity is generally considered a contraindication to re-implantation and the extremity best managed by prosthesis. However good prosthesis is not easily available especially in resource constrained environment, the overall long term quality of life is also considered better with re-implantation.

Case Presentation: We report a 24 year old tourist patient who presented with post-traumatic amputation of the left leg following a road traffic accident.
