Below the elbow amputations remove the forearm while preserving the elbow joint. Prosthetics can be customized for lifestyle. Elbow and above elbow amputations are performed for conditions like peripheral vascular disease from diabetes or blood clots. Major amputations include below knee and above knee while partial foot amputations include Chopart, Lisfranc and ray procedures. Conservation of residual limb length is a principle of modern amputation surgery. Causes include poor blood flow, infection, trauma, tumors or birth defects. Complications can include bleeding, anesthesia issues, infection, blood clots and poor healing but are rare.

Amputations below knee
A below-knee amputation (BKA) involves removing the foot, ankle joint, and distal tibia and fibula. It is preferred over an above-knee amputation as it has better rehabilitation outcomes. While rates of lower extremity amputations have declined, around 3,500 trauma-related amputations still occur annually in the US. BKAs carry risks but remain an important treatment option given the right circumstances. Meddco is an Indian website that provides price transparency and packages for below-knee amputations.
Orthopaedics
Orthopaedics deals with disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Common issues include fractures, joint damage from wear/arthritis, bone loss from osteoporosis, and injuries to tendons and ligaments. Treatments depend on the problem but may include fracture repair, joint replacement, fusing damaged joints, or keyhole surgery which has benefits of less tissue damage and faster recovery times compared to conventional surgery. Arthroscopy involves inserting a small camera into the joint to examine it before performing keyhole surgery.

Potential complications involve issues like hemorrhage, flap breakdown, pain, and prosthesis fit.
Amputation by phocas
Amputation is the surgical removal of a limb or part of a limb. It has been performed for thousands of years as a medical procedure and punishment. The most common modern indications for amputation are peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, and severe trauma. A study in Rwanda found the prevalence of amputation to be 3.08% of all surgeries, with the majority performed for gangrene secondary to peripheral vascular disease. Below knee amputation was the most common procedure, and 87.9% of patients had an uneventful recovery, though complications like phantom limb pain and need for re-amputation can occur. Amputation, while often a last resort, remains a life-saving procedure for conditions that could otherwise prove
Amputation in Surgery
Amputation is of the common surgical procedure done in the ER. This is also common in various routine cases. This presentation covers various aspects of amputation including steps of below knee amputation. The background has been changed from the previous one to hide the brutality of this procedure.
Principles of amputation
This document outlines the principles of amputation, including definitions, indications, types, pre-operative evaluation, operative techniques, post-operative care, and complications. It notes that amputation is an ancient procedure that should be viewed not as a failure of treatment, but as the first step towards allowing a patient to return to a more comfortable life. The document emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of amputation and importance of both surgical and post-operative care in achieving the best outcomes for patients.
Foot and ankle
The surgical procedure involves attaching fixation plates and screws to stabilize fractured fibula and tibia bones in the ankle joint. An incision is made to access the bones, bone fragments are removed, and a plate is positioned and secured with screws on the fibula and tibia. The incision is closed, the ankle is bandaged and placed in a splint. The patient will be non-weight bearing for 3 to 10 weeks and may require physical therapy.

Ilizarov technique - The answer for non union
A 46-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of difficulty walking following a road traffic accident that resulted in right leg fractures. He underwent three surgeries including intramedullary nailing, plating, and bone grafting, but developed a non-union. He was treated with fibular osteotomy and application of an Ilizarov external fixator to achieve bone transport and lengthening. Over the course of treatment, his leg length increased by 2 cm and he was able to walk without support upon removal of the fixator. The Ilizarov technique allowed new bone formation and healing without additional bone grafts or internal fixation.
Knee Dislocation 2
Knee dislocations occur when the bones of the knee, the tibia and fibula, are moved out of position relative to the femur bone of the thigh. This happens when the strong ligament bands that hold the knee bones together are torn, usually due to major trauma like falls or car crashes. A knee dislocation involves tears to the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and/or lateral collateral ligament. Evaluation of a knee dislocation includes examination for deformities and fractures, testing of each ligament, examination of pulses and nerves, and x-rays. Treatment involves relocating the lower leg into position, immobilizing the knee to prevent further injury and

A complete guide to deep vein thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot develops in the deep venous system. Most commonly, the legs are affected. Vessels in the deep venous system are responsible for transporting the vast majority of your body’s blood to the heart for reoxygenation. Deep veins are so named because they are located deep within the body, surrounded by muscle.
Raising awareness of dvt and vein disease
Deep vein thrombosis, also known as DVT, refers to a serious type of blood clot that develops in the deep venous system. When left untreated, DVT can lead to painful symptoms, along with a life-threatening condition called pulmonary embolism (PE).

Cervical spine issues are common in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) patients and can cause headaches, neck pain, and other symptoms. Diagnostic tests like MRI and CT scans can detect cervical instability, disc degeneration, and Chiari malformation. While conservative treatments like physical therapy and cervical collars are usually first-line, cervical fusion surgery can effectively resolve craniocervical symptoms in EDS patients with symptomatic cervical instability. Outcomes data on 25 EDS patients who underwent C1-C2 fusion showed significant reduction in pain levels and resolution of headaches in most cases.

This document discusses deep vein thrombosis (DVT), including its causes, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. DVT occurs when a blood clot forms deep inside the body, typically in the legs, and can become life-threatening if pieces break off and travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Diagnosis involves blood tests like D-dimer and ultrasound imaging of the veins. Treatment consists of blood thinners like heparin and warfarin to prevent further clotting and filters to block clots from reaching the lungs if blood thinners cannot be used.
Lecture 29 shah diabetic fractures copy
A 50-year-old diabetic male presented with a right ankle fracture after a minor fall. Initial x-rays were not available. CT scan revealed comminuted fractures of the talus, subtalar joint, and distal tibia. At 14 weeks, the fractures were still not healed. At 10 months, the patient experienced a trivial fall and fracture non-union was seen. The patient underwent surgery involving exploration, suture anchors, and syndesmotic screws. Fractures in diabetics are prone to delayed healing and complications like infection. Surgical treatment of diabetic ankle fractures requires longer fixation, stronger implants, and delayed weight bearing.

Diabetic foot
This document discusses diabetic foot, which is an important but often neglected entity. Around 25% of people with diabetes will develop a diabetic foot ulcer in their lifetime, which can lead to amputation and increased mortality. Proper management of diabetic foot involves optimal diabetes and blood pressure control, foot care including regular inspection and debridement of wounds, offloading of pressure areas, and treatment of infections. Assessing the foot involves testing for loss of sensation and vascular status, classifying any wounds, and looking for signs of infection.
Rhematoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the joints, especially small joints in the hands and feet. It is more common in women and is caused by genetic and autoimmune factors. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, swelling in small and large joints. Over time, joint deformities can develop if not treated. Diagnostic tests include blood tests, x-rays, MRI and synovial fluid analysis. Treatment involves medications like NSAIDs, DMARDs, steroids and biologics to reduce inflammation and prevent joint damage. Lifestyle changes and physical therapy can also help manage symptoms. Complications may include osteoporosis, lung and heart disease if not properly treated.
