The initial open amputation helps to control the infection, eliminate the bacteremia and provide a safer wound environment for a definitive amputation at a later date. Leaving the bone long and avoiding transecting the muscle bellies minimizes the post-operative swelling and edema that often complicates mid-diaphyseal open amputations.

Amputation is defined as surgical removal or loss of body part such as arms or limbs in part or full. It is usually distinguished from disarticulation where a part is removed through a joint [1] [2] [3] One million limb amputations are reported globally each year.

There are two general types of surgical procedure for amputation: (1) the closed or “flap” amputation and (2) the open or “guillotine” amputation. The latter is often required when infection is present and there is a need for free drainage from the operative site.

Amputation is surgery to remove all or part of an arm or leg. It may be done to treat injury, disease, or infection. It may also be done to remove tumors from bones and muscles. Why might I need an amputation? The most common reason for amputation is poor blood flow. This happens when arteries become narrowed or damaged.

Amputation is surgery to remove all or part of a body appendage, usually a limb or extremity (an arm, leg, hand or foot). You might need surgery to amputate a body part if it’s too sick or injured to save and it endangers other parts. You might also need surgery if you lose a body part in a traumatic accident.

2006年8月1日 · In this report, we evaluate the effectiveness of closed, staged, and open forefoot amputations performed according to a defined, patient treatment algorithm in preventing major leg amputation and identify those variables that are associated with successful limb preservation.

2022年3月31日 · Doctors typically divide amputation types first into upper amputations and lower amputations. Upper amputations involve the fingers, wrist, or arm. Lower amputations involve the toes,...

开放性截肢术 系指截肢后不缝合 皮肤，继面完全开放者。 一般于肢体有 感染 或有较大 感染 可能性时采用。 这是一种暂时性的截肢，将来尚需二期截肢才能装配 假肢。 截肢 方法 有环形开放截肢和皮瓣开放截肢两种；战时以前者为常用，因其引流通畅，手术时间短，对 伤员 的负担轻。 1.截断平面 愈低愈好。 应在切除 感染 源及通畅引流的前提下，尽可能保留残肢的长度，准备将来再次截肢。 2. 皮肤 不作皮瓣，于健康 皮肤 环形切断，任其 自然 收缩 [图1 ⑴]。 3. 肌肉 在 皮肤 …

All 54 amputation sites treated by the open technique healed without revision. Of 22 toe amputations, the open technique performed in 14 patients required a mean of nine postoperative days; the closed-toe amputation technique performed in 8 patients needed a mean of 5.8 days; the closed-toe amputation requiring revision needed a mean of 36.3 days.

2024年4月20日 · immediate open amputation (Fig. 13-3). Traumatized limbs with a nonreconstructible vascular injury will require amputation. The most important factor determining limb salvage versus amputation will be the severity of the soft tissue injury. 33 These patients often have an obvious constellation of nonreconstructible injuries.
