Twenty-four lower limb replantations have been performed in our hospital since 1976. In three of these cases, subsequent foreshortening of the replanted lower limb was successfully treated by callus distraction. In all of these cases, an impressive functional improvement resulted. Ilizarov's method for callus distraction can be recommended in these cases.
