摘要: For the patient facing a major lower extremity amputation, surgeon's goal should be to salvage residual limb with maximum amount of function. This requires coordinating length available prosthetics and tenodesing muscle optimize joint motion maintain tone. article explains systematic approach amputation. We believe outcomes can improved through careful preoperative evaluation optimization biomechanics, blood flow, infection. Thoughtful planning creative use remaining viable tissue give most amputees highly functional extremity.
