Advantages of trans-radial amp vs wrist disarticulation
More aesthetic
Better prosthesis fit
Better for brachial plexopathy
Elbow disarticulation vs. trans-humeral amp for kids
Do elbow disarticulation
Prevents bony overgrowth
Do disarticulations in kids
If BKA prosthesis is placed forward
Increased knee extension
Patellar pain
If BKA prosthesis is placed posteriorly
Increased knee flexion
Instability
