 Abstract
 PDF
- The development of microsurgical techniques has also increased the success rate of replantation surgery. This paper reports the results of limb replantation performed on a lower extremity amputation that was associated with crush amputation and an ipsilateral comminuted fracture in and elderly patient. A 68-year-old female presented with a right distal tibia amputation due to a traffic accident. At that time, with a comminuted fracture in the distal femoral condyle, simple wound repair was recommended, but the caregivers strongly wanted replantation. Three years after surgery, normal walking was possible without a cane and the patient was satisfied with the function and aesthetics. What used to be contraindicated in limb replantation in the past are now indications due to the development of microsurgical techniques, surgical experience, and postoperative rehabilitation treatment. If the patient is willing to be treated, good results in contraindications can be obtained.

Abstract
PDF
- In elderly acetabular fractures, central dislocation of the femoral head and impacted superior dome of the acetabulum is common. Unreduced dome impaction can lead to degenerative arthritis and results in poor results. Herein, we present a case of operative reduction and fixation performed via the modified Stoppa approach in acetabular fracture with superior dome impaction.
