amputation levels Flashcards
discuss partial foot amputation
removal of areas of the foot
toe/ray
transmetatarsal
lisfranc
chopart
boyd
pirogoff
discuss toe/ray amputation
removal of toes
if phalanx lang - toe
if phalanx and metatarsal - ray
discuss transmetatarsal amputation
dividing metatarsal bones either distally or proximally
discuss lisfranc amputation
aka tarsometatarsal ampu
bet distal edge of cuneiform and cuboid and bases of MTT bones
discuss chopart amputation
remains only talus and calcaneus
discuss boyd ampu
talus and calcaneus remains but distal tibia, fibula and talus is fused - arthrodesis
better WB and better use of heel pad
discuss pirogoff ampu
only parts of calcaneus remains and is fused to distal tibia and fibula
discuss ankle disarticulation
aka symes ampu
surgical removal through ankle joint
heel pad still remains as cushion and is WB
discuss transtibial ampi
BKA
amputation through tibia and fibula
can be long, mid or short
discuss knee disarticulation
through knee ampu
ampu on joint line itself
condyles of femur is WB surface
discuss transfemoral ampu
AKA
ampu through femur
can be long, mid or short
discuss hip disarticulation
ampu through hip joint
some cases head and neck of femur are still attached
discuss hemipelvectomy
transpelvic ampu - rare
more extensive than disarticulation since parts of pelvis are still removed
discuss hemipelvectomy - hindquarter
parts of pelvis and whole LE is taken out
discuss hemipelvectomy - complete
complete removal of pelvis
