He was transferred to our regional trauma center one week after injury with extensive lower leg myonecrosis, renal failure, sepsis. An open knee disarticulation performed as life-saving procedure to remove the necrotic tissue of the lower leg. He is now stable and returns to surgery for definitive transfemoral amputation.
