Knee disarticulation versus above-knee amputation.

Abstract:

:If below-knee amputation is impossible, knee disarticulation should be considered before above-knee amputation, regardless of age and etiology. Knee disarticulation which leaves the femur and patella untoched offers many advantages. The surgical technique is simple and non-traumatic since no bone or muscle tissue is to be dissected. The thigh muscles are completely preserved and thus there is no muscular imbalance. The stump permits total end bearing and its bulbous shape permits easy and firm attachment of the prosthesis. A specially designed double-wall socket and various types of knee joints are presented. Modern prostheses are superior to above-knee prostheses with regard to function, comfort and cosmesis. Results of 72 patients of all age groups are presented and discussed.

  • Bondgraph modelling and simulation of the dynamic behaviour of above-knee prostheses.

    abstract::A mathematical model was used to investigate the dynamic behaviour of an above-knee (AK) prosthesis in the swing phase and to analyse the influence of mass and mass distribution on the maximal stump load and the required energy. The model consists of a bondgraph model of the prosthesis and a "walking" model which pred...
