That’s the whole reason they attached it to her foot.
The damage to her scalp and vascular network was so severe that restoring the ear at the time was impossible, so the procedure was performed to save the patient’s aural orifice so it could be reattached to her head later.
That’s the whole reason they attached it somewhere, but your quote doesn’t address my speculation about why they picked her foot in particular. I was making a guess about the relative timing of her being healed enough to release vs. being healed enough to have the graft moved back to where it belongs.

My guess is blood flow. Legs tend to be the limb that receive the most blood flow.
