Traumatic injury of the left foot!

A 58-year-old male person was admitted to the Emergency Clinical Hospital Bucharest, approximately 7 hours after a traumatic injury of the left leg amputated by the blade of an electric saw. Replantation surgery of the left leg was performed under general anesthesia with ischemic time lasting 9 hours up to the arterial anastomosis. Metallic osteosynthesis and suture of the blood vessels, nerves, and tendons were performed. On the initial physical examination, this person presented no inflammatory signs of the skin cicatrization process after replantation surgery, no edema, and no pain syndrome.
