case_images: There was insufficient local soft tissue for coverage of the left below-knee amputation stump, preventing tension-free closure (Figure 1).
case_images: The right amputated lower limb (above-knee amputation), used for fillet flap harvest. The spared distal soft tissue can be appreciated.
