Woman Loses Leg In Auto Accident
Both sections seem to be in great shape. Is it possible to reattach it? I'm definitely no expert but know there are several here with more knowledge in this field than me. |

Re: Woman Loses Leg In Auto Accident
I don't know- it would seem to me the closer to the joint they wouldn't be able to, but I'm no surgeon.  |

Re: Woman Loses Leg In Auto Accident
In such a rural looking place I doubt they'd do such a lengthy operation that has a good chance of being unsuccessful. All the nerves and joints are cut too so it would take ages of physical therapy to make it fairly functional.

No bandages, fluids, pain meds, sheets or even gloves! Bye bye leg

Re: Woman Loses Leg In Auto Accident
Attach the leg physically and get a blood flow shouldn't be a problem. The problem comes with the nerves and such. So in theory you could reattach it, but it would be dead-weight. Better off blending it up for the dog and getting a prosthetic  |
