History
• Rig-Veda is the first recorded
document about a prosthesis
1:116:15
• The foot of Vispala, the wife of Khela,
was cut off like the wing of a bird and
Aswini Kumaras gave her a metallic
leg.

Definition
• “Amputation is a procedure where a part of the limb is
removed through one or more bones ”
Disarticulation;-
• “Surgical removal of whole limb or part of the limb
through a joint”
Incidence

• Traumatic
• Gender
• Limb
ANATOMY
Bones
Muscles
Arteries
Veins
Nerves
Surgical principles
• Tourniquet
• Ex-sanguination
• Levels of amputation
• Skin flaps
• Muscles
• Muscle suturing
– Myodesis
– Myoplasty
• Nerves
Surgical Principles contd..
• Blood vessels
• Bone
• Drains
• Post operative procedures
• Dressing - Conventional or soft
• Positioning and elevation of the stump
• Exercise
• Wrapping
• Prosthetic fitting and gait training
Surgical principles according to Ayurveda
• Sushruta Samhita has given references on Amputation.
• Poorvakarma – Dhoopana, Shastra payana, Madyapaana
• Pradhanakarma – Chedana using Kharapatra
• Pashchat karma – in cases of Raktasrava – pouring of hot
Kshoudra ,Guda or Sneha over the stump to attain
hemostasis. Kosha bandha, followed by vranopachara.

Types of Amputation
Closed– Elective procedure.
• The Skin is closed primarily after amputation.
Open/Guillotine
• Emergency procedure
• The skin is not closed primarily and
later, any one of the closure methods
like secondary closure, reamputation or
plastic repair follows it
• Indication- severe infection
- severe crush injury
Skin flaps
• A skin flap is healthy skin and tissue that is partly detached and
moved to cover a nearby wound
Skewed flap Long posterior skin flap
Trauma
Peripheral
vascular disease
Infection
Burn Frostbite
Tumor
Determination of
Levels of Amputation
Clinically
• Disease progress
• Lowest palpable pulse
• Skin colour and temperature
• Prosthesis available
• Easy movement
Investigations
• X-ray
• USG Doppler or CT-Angiogram
• Ankle-brachial pressure index > 0.5.
• Compression pressure at the calf >65mmHg.
• Transcutaneous oxygen measurement >40mmHg.
• Skin perfusion pressure >40mmHg - laser doppler flowmetry.
• Pre-operative
• Operative
• Post-operative
• Assessment
• Investigation
• Consultation and physical fitness
• High risk consent
• Preparation of OT
• Preparation of patient
Pre-operative procedures
Operative
procedures
Post-operative
procedures
Qualities of an ideal stump
• Should heal adequately.
• Should have sufficient length to
bear prosthesis.
• Should have thin scar which does
not interfere with prosthetic
function.
• Should have adequate adjacent
joint movement.
• Should have adequate blood supply.
Hematoma
Skin flap necrosis
Deformity
Neuroma
Phantom limb
Infection
Prosthesis
Replacement or substitution of a missing or a diseased part
Classification
Endoprosthesis – implants used to replace joints
Exoprosthesis- replacement externally for part of the limb
Types
Temporary- used until the patient is fitted with permanent prosthesis
Permanent- used permanently
Prosthesis for below knee Amputation
• Patellar tendon bearing- socket is
made to fit exactly over the patellar
tendon and the side of the tibial
condyles
• Conventional type- consist
of thigh corset, side steel,
knee joint, shin piece, ankle
joint unit and footpiece
Jaipur Foot
• Rubber-based prosthetic leg
• inexpensive
• widely acceptable
• widely used in India.
• Dr. Pramod Sethi designed and manufactured artificial limbs, with the help of the skilled craftsmen Ram
Chandra Sharma designed and developed it in 1968.
Discussion
• The references related to amputation and use of prosthesis are found
since the Vedic period.
• Classics of Ayurveda gives the surgical principles of Amputation which
holds good even in the present era.
• The maintenance of Hemostasis by means of Agnikarma was in
practice as per Acharya Sushruta, which is now modified and achieved
by means of cauterization.
• Even though the crude instruments have given way to more
sophisticated ones now, the principles of amputation, achieving
hemostatsis and wound care remains the same even now.
• The cases presented here are of different aetiology and clinical
features, having Diabetes mellitus in common, ended up in Below
knee Amputation after all other measures of conservative
management failed.
• Hence this presentation was a humble attempt to throw light on
creating an awareness as how to approach a case, taking proper
history, clinical examinations and investigations helps a surgeon
to arrive at the right diagnosis, at the right time, to decide the
right level of amputation to save the life of the patient.
Discussion contd..
Conclusion
• Amputation should not be viewed as a failure of treatment rather as a
reconstructive surgery.
• Treatment of choice for an unreconstructable or a functionally unsatisfactory
limb and first step toward a patient’s return to a more comfortable and
productive life.
• Amputation may result in a psychological trauma of permanent disability to
the patient, which can be overcome by a holistic approach of treatment and
counselling.
• A major percent of the patients who underwent below knee amputation were
afflicted with Diabetes mellitus. Hence maintaining a euglycemic state,
lifestyle modifications and proper foot care throughout the life would reduce
the incidence of Amputations in coming days.
