DOI: 10.1016/j.cps.2020.12.010
Abstract: Indications for lower extremity reconstruction in children are unique because most result from congenital conditions (eg, constriction ring, lymphedema, syndactyly, nevi, vascular anomalies). Like adults, pediatric patients also suffer from effects following extirpation and trauma.… read more here.
