世界首例!双大腿完全离体,中国医生接回去了
TL;DR - A multidisciplinary team at Suzhou Ruihua Orthopedic Hospital reportedly completed the world’s first documented replantation of two fully detached thighs, enabling the patient to walk indoors with a walker after roughly 20 months. The case demonstrates that limb salvage may remain possible even after an exceptionally severe bilateral high-level amputation.
- More than 20 clinicians used three operating tables and four teams to debride and reconstruct the torso and both detached limbs in parallel, completing the initial surgery in nearly eight hours.
- Reconstruction included bilateral femoral shortening, fracture fixation, microsurgical arterial, venous, and nerve repair, soft-tissue reconstruction, and preventive compartment decompression.
- Major postoperative challenges included systemic toxin effects, impaired liver and kidney function, inflammation, skin necrosis, infection risk, and delayed fracture healing.
- After additional flap, skin-graft, and bone-graft procedures plus early rehabilitation, the wounds healed by day 93 and active knee flexion later reached about 90 degrees.
