Transmetatarsal and Minor Amputation Versus Major Leg Amputation: 30-Day Readmissions, Reamputations, and Complications.

Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2020
AIMS The optimal level of lower-extremity amputation, particularly in diabetic patients with ulceration, is debated. Proximal amputations more greatly decrease function versus distal amputations, but healing and complication rates may differ between the ...

A surgical approach for replantation of complete digital amputations

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1980
A technique of extending exposure in digital replantation using lateral incisions permits atraumatic exposure of adequate length of digital nerves, arteries, and veins, and excellent exposure for fashioning bone and debridement and repair of tendon. Increase in viability rates, the ability to repair two arteries per digit, the number of veins repaired ...

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. Any loss will interfere with the patient’s productivity, feeling of completeness, as well as alter his interactions with his environment.

Surgical Management of Juvenile Amputation Overgrowth With a Synthetic Cap

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2004

DRY ICE FREEZING AS A PRELUDE TO SURGICAL AMPUTATION

Orthopedics, 1982
ABSTRACT: Emergency amputation in the critically ill is associated with 17 to 25% mortality, and a high rate of postoperative infection. Mortality arid morbidity can be reduced by freezing the diseased tissues with dry ice, and deferring surgery until the patient is rendered stable, and metabolically able to heal.

Surgical Reconstruction of the Amputated Arm

1989
The design and production of prostheses have advanced remarkably in recent years. Highly efficient prostheses, driven energetically from external sources, have been introduced. New prostheses have also been designed for special use at work and for children.1–4 Such prosthetic developments have created the need for advanced methods of surgical ...
