The Pirogoff Amputation for Necrosis of the Forefoot

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2011
The Pirogoff amputation creates a full-weight-bearing stump. It establishes osseous continuity between the tibial plafond and the rotated calcaneus and preserves the heel pad. This advantage is attractive for elderly, low-demand patients who have already undergone a previous contralateral amputation1.
