Summary:

       The authors present a case of a 40-year-old male with devastating amputation trauma of both lower extremities. Reconstruction of the right lower extremity was solved by the unusual use of inserted vascularized bone–skin graft from the left crus with a simultaneous replantation of the right foot. The result after 3.5 years is preservation of one extremity with full knee mobility. The other lower extremity was fitted for thigh prosthesis.

        Key words: reconstruction of lower extremity, vascularized tibia, microsurgery
