The technique of temporary external shunt bypass offers early perfusion of a traumatically amputated extremity, thus decreasing the total anoxic time, permitting bony fixation after perfusion is established, and allowing arterial revascularization with good venous outflow and minimal blood loss. This technique may increase the survival of these severely damaged limbs.
