Lower limb amputee survival.
A total of 1710 primary amputees have been studied over a 25 year period and their survival time has been calculated. These were all consecutive primary lower limb amputees admitted to the Dundee Limb Fitting Centre during the period 1965-1989. Overall, the median survival was 4 yr 9 mth for the below-knee amputee (1019 patients) and 4 yr 3 mth for the above-knee amputee (586 patients). The vas...
متن کاملFunctional outcomes in a lower limb amputee population.
This paper reports an evaluation of 132 patients seen at the Nova Scotia Rehabilitation Centre amputee programme during a 24-month period, carried out to evaluate the programme's effectiveness. In addition to a review of charts, a questionnaire was used (85% return rate) to help determine functional outcomes. The patient profile revealed a 3.4:1 male-to-female ratio and an average age of 64.8 +...
متن کاملAn autologus lower limb prosthesis.
Van Nes rotationplasty is a reconstructive and salvage procedure of the lower limb. The technique replaces the amputated thigh and knee with an autologus biological 'prosthesis', the patient's own ipsilateral ankle, which is rotated 180 degrees and fixed at the level of the contralateral knee. This procedure was first adapted by Borggreve of Germany in 1930 to treat a knee joint destroyed by tu...
متن کاملProsthesis use in persons with lower- and upper-limb amputation.
This study identified clinical (e.g., etiology) and demographic factors related to prosthesis use in persons with upper- and lower-limb amputation (ULA and LLA, respectively) and the effect of phantom limb pain (PLP) and residual limb pain (RLP) on prosthesis use. A total of 752 respondents with LLA and 107 respondents with ULA completed surveys. Factors related to greater use (hours per day) f...
