Abstract
Microvascular techniques allowing free tissue transfer have expanded t he indications for limb salvage in tumor patients. Preoperative planni ng should predict the type of deficit anticipated. Specific techniques for soft tissue, skeletal, neurovascular, and composite tissue transf er are discussed. While demanding, the use of living autogenous tissue gives the potential for biologic adaptivity and life-long durability.
