My right leg was reconstructed (and now resembles a kebab) - I was told that it was not cosmetic but life saving and therefore I am more than happy to have such a deformed leg

The bones were realigned and held in place using the Lattissmus Dorsi Muscle from my back (this is the same muscle that can be used to rebuild or augment the female breast) and then covered with skin harvested from my left thigh - this left me with further scars 

- a very neat straight scar from my left armpit to near my hip 

- a large rectangular area of - now - a lighter skin tone on my left thigh

The bones were then held together using an external fixator
