SAGITTAL INCISION FOR BELOW-KNEE AMPUTATION IN ISCHAEMIC GANGRENE

摘要: 1. A sagittal technique for below-knee amputation ischaemic gangrene based on mediolateral musculo-cutaneous flaps is described, similar to the one independently presented by Tracy (1966). 2. The results with this method are illustrated evolution of healing rate over six years in 172 patients gangrene. 3. comparison between and conventional flap techniques shows a reamputation out fifty-eight former sixteen forty-one latter. 4. overall relative knee joint preservation during 1971 was 82 per cent, frequency attempted 93 cent. 5. It concluded that has several advantages posterior technique, potential same high level. 6. fully controlled different proposed.
