Amputation Flashcards
surgical removal of all or part of a limb
Amputation
amputation at the level of the joint; pediatric patients
Disarticulation
amputation due to poor blood supply
Dysvacularization
born with congenital limb deficiency
Congenital Limb Difference
Residual limb AKA
Stump
subcutaneous tissue used to cover the distal end bone
Flap
clinical trimester for limb formation
1st trimester
Causes of Congenital Limb Deficiency
Teratogen agents
Amniotic band syndrome
Rare hereditary implications
complete missing of the limb after a certain point
Transverse Deficiency
Transverse Deficiency AKA
Terminal Deficiency
specific part of the limb is missing
Longitudinal Deficiency
Longitudinal Deficiency AKA
Intercalary Deficiency
Radial Ray Anomaly I
slightly short radius
Radial Ray Anomaly II
very short radius; ulna moves sideways
Radial Ray Anomaly III
partial missing radius
Radial Ray Anomaly IV
complete missing of radius
complete absence of the limb
Amelia
partial absence of the limb
Meromelia
flipper like appendage
Phocomelia
missing metacarpal/metatarsal
Adactyl
half of the limb is missing
Hemimelia
missing fingers/toes
Aphalangia
missing hand/foot
Acheiria
Causes of Acquired Pediatric Amputation
MVA
Electric burn
Thermal burn
Explosion (MC)
Recreation

Resection: thumb and index finger
Compromised: palmar grasp
Ulnar Amputation of Digits (Resection & Compromised)
Resection: 4th and 5th finger
Compromised: hook grasp

Long Transradial
55-90%
motions available in long transradial
60-120 pronation and supination
strong elbow flexion
motions available in short transradial
60 pronation and supination
decreased elbow flexion
Short Transradial
35-55%
Very Short Transradial
<55%
