Abstract
Krukenberg's operation was actually described by Vanghetti in 1989. Three cases, including one bilateral case, are reported. The first case was a 36-year-old patient from a developing country. At the sixth postoperative week, the patient had regained his independence and gained 1.5 kg. The second case was a child with multiple malformations, who presented, in addition to amputation of both legs, a high amputation of the left forearm and distal fold of the right forearm. Krukenberg's operation was performed at the age of 8 months. At the age of 2 years, the child was able to eat and drink independently.
