Surgical Amputation in Children

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1963
Amputation surgery in children is different from that in adults primarily in the sites of amputation. In a child, all length possible should be saved and, wherever possible, amputation levels should be distal to epiphyses rather than proximal. Elective amputation in children to convert anomalous extremities to more satisfactory stumps should be ...

Surgical management of an epidemic of penile amputations in siam

The American Journal of Surgery, 1983
Thailand recently experienced an epidemic of penile amputations. These were usually performed by angry wives on philandering husbands. This outbreak appeared to have been fueled by graphic press reports and fortunately seems to have abated. A technique for reanastomosis of the amputated penile segment was first described by McRoberts et al [5] in 1968.

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.

Amputation Levels and Surgical Techniques

1989
Upper-extremity amputation presents a complex loss for the patient. The hand functions in prehensile activities, as a sensory organ and as a means of communication.
