Detialed orthopedics amputation and essential information needed to know by orthopedics resident doctors
Introduction
Defination
Types of amputations
Antomical requirment for every amputations
66. Transfemoral Amputation
Maintain a
12
cm
(
10
-
15
cm
)
above knee joint for
prosthetic fitting
Technique
5
-
10
degrees of adduction is for prosthesis function
adductor myodesis
improves clinical outcomes
creates dynamic muscle balance )otherwise have
unopposed abductors(
provides soft tissue envelope that enhances prosthetic
fitting
67.
68. Gritti-Stokes amputation
amputation through the femur near level of
adductor tubercle
synovium is excised to prevent postoperative
effusion
patella is arthrodesed to the end of femur for
improved end bearing
prepatellar soft tissue is maintained without
iatrogenic injury
improved outcomes as compared to
transfemoral amputation
69.
70. Through-Knee-
Amputation
Indications
ambulatory patients who cannot
have a transtibial amputation
non-ambulatory patients
Technique
suture patellar tendon to cruciate
ligaments in notch
use gastrocnemius muscles for
padding at end of amputation
71. Below-Knee-Amputation )BKA(
Long posterior flap
12
-
15
cm below knee joint is ideal
(
10
-
16
cm of
residual tibia bone
)
need approximately
8
-
12
cm from ground to fit most
modern high-impact prostheses
77. Lisfranc amputation )midfoot
)
where the five metatarsal bones meet up with the
smaller cuboid bone and the medial, middle, and
lateral cuneiform bones. Ligaments hold these
bones in place
80. Great toe amputations
preserve
1
cm at base of proximal phalanx
preserves insertion of plantar fascia, sesamoids, and
flexor hallucis brevis
reduces
lrisk of ulceration
81. Name of this amputation
Q-What is the name of this
amputation????
82. Q-Why below the knee amputation better
than abovethe knee amputation??🤔
97. Prognosis
outcomes are improved with
the involvement of
psychological counseling for
coping mechanisms
Involves a close working
relationship between rehab
physicians, prosthetists,
physical therapists, as well as
psychiatrists and social
workers
