Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The first amputation through the knee to be done in the United States was performed 150 years ago. Since then, its advantages have been noted repeatedly, but widespread acceptance has never been attained. Amputation through the knee should be the procedure of choice for the poor risk, bedridden patient because it is simple, safe and swift. There is minimal postoperative pain, and the stump is sufficiently long to be a useful appendage. |
