Objectives of CARE^® Course III- Amputation Surgery

· Identify the indications for amputation surgery.

· Trace the history of osteomyoplastic reconstruction.

· Illustrate the indications for osteomyoplastic reconstruction.

· Describe preoperative clinical and instrumented evaluation procedures.

· Outline the osteomyoplastic procedure for transtibial and transfemoral amputations.

· Present the results of osteomyoplastic reconstruction for various amputation levels.

Often after significant time, funds and emotions have been invested into salvage of the limb with, both, the patient and surgeon feeling defeated, amputation is viewed as a failure. It is important that we make a paradigm shift that perceives amputation surgery as the very foundation of successful prosthetic rehabilitation. Identifying a detailed amputation procedure or plan will instill confidence in the patient and create a residual limb that is the ideal platform or ‘end organ’ from which a prosthesis can be fit, fabricated and utilized.

Dr. Janos P. Ertl has worked together with his patients and many prosthetists to create preoperative amputation plans. Follow up is a key component to assessing outcomes and applying that information obtained to future planning. Developing a relationship with the prosthetist will allow for better collection of outcome data.

The goal of the osteomyoplastic procedure, for both primary and secondary amputations, is to create a functional active residual extremity based on reestablishing a physiologic, well-balanced environment. The resulting residual limb is stronger and more durable with improved stability and proprioception.
