Download or read book A Primer on Amputations and Artificial Limbs written by George Murdoch and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1990, under the aegis of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics, the authors organized and co-chaired the International Consensus Conference on Amputation Surgery. Forty-nine distinguished surgeons, prosthetists, and bioengineers from ten countries participated in the five-day session. Realizing a need for greater dissemination of the findings of the conference, the authors, with over a combined century of experience in amputation surgery, prosthetic fitting, and bioengineering, expertly prepared this comprehensive new book based on the recommendations developed by the conferees. The book presents a clear and concise picture of the relationship between skilled surgery and a good prosthetic outcome. The primer is also well-illustrated with numerous line-drawings and photographs. This outstanding text will prove useful to all current and future members of the amputee health-care team. The authors also hope this primer will be especially beneficial to those surgeons who are called upon to amputate infrequently and, more importantly, to all surgeons in training.

Book excerpt: The primary initial effort in every case of disease or injury should be to save the extremity. Amputation is seldom necessary following bone and joint injuries. More often, it is an admission of defeat in the medical management of the patient with vascular disease. In such cases, it should be performed only as a last resort. The longest possible lever arm, consistent with primary healing, should be maintained for maximum proprioceptive and kinesthetic feedback and thus rehabilitation potential.
