It does not require a patent tibialis posterior artery, It is less energy efficient than a midfoot amputation, The primary complication is an equinus deformity, It is also known as a hindfoot amputation. This allows for nerve retraction, avoiding the development of a painful neuroma distally at the BKA stump. It is the role of the coder/cdi to interpret their documentation of the incision site into the correct code assignment. Tisi PV, Than MM. StatPearls Publishing, Treasure Island (FL).

The periosteal sleeve with chips of attached cortical bones should be fashioned to enclose the distal bone ends and filled with bone graft. Transfemoral Amputation Maintain as much length as possible however, ideal cut is 12 cm (10-15cm) above knee joint to allow for prosthetic fitting Technique 5-10 degrees of adduction is ideal for improved prosthesis function adductor myodesis improves clinical outcomes creates dynamic muscle balance (otherwise have unopposed abductors) Phair J, DeCarlo C, Scher L, Koleilat I, Shariff S, Lipsitz EC, Garg K. Risk factors for unplanned readmission and stump complications after major lower extremity amputation. Generally, a BKA is preferred over an above-knee amputation (AKA), as the former has better rehabilitation and functional outcomes. (OBQ08.235) In addition to lengthening the Achilles, transfer of which tendon is most important for functional ambulation after performing a Chopart amputation of the foot? This is determined via the clinical picture, including vital signs and exam, and through an assessment of infectious labs, CBC, BMP, lactic acid, base deficit, blood cultures, and radiographic imaging.

rotate the leg, mark the anterior incision 10cm distal to tibial tubercle, this incision is also15cm from knee joint line, anterior incision 2/3 total circumference, posterior incision 1/3 total circumference, mark out the posterior flap so that it is 1.5 times the length of the anterior flap, this is extremely important because it allows for redundant posterior flap upon closure, the posterior flap should be distal to the musculotendinous junction of the gastrocnemius, round out the distal ends of the posterior skin flap to reduce redundancy of skin upon closure, incise the entire circumference of the skin incision through the underlying fascia, direct the vertical incison over the anterior crest of the tibia to facilitate exposure of the anterior periosteal flap, identify the superficial and deep peroneal nerves, place gentle traction and resect nerves using sharp dissection, sharply dissect through the anterior compartment musculature at the most proximal end of the

anterior and posterior margins of the anteriormedial tibia for 8 to 10 cm distally, raise the flap with the bevel positioned superiorly, protect the flap using a moist gauze sponge, isolate the rest of the tibia with a periosteal elevator, divide the interosseus membrane and identify the fibula, perform cut of the fibula several centimeters distal to the tibia cut, the proximal cut of the fibula is at the level of the distal tibia cut, elevate the periosteum of the fibula at this level of the cut and continue elevating for 1 cm distally, cut a notch into the posterolateral tibia to house the fibula, secure the bone bridge with non absorbable suture through holes that are made through the lateral aspect of the fibula, through the medullary canal of the transverse fibula to the medial aspect of the tibia, without a bone bridge approximately 1 cm proximal to the tibia cut at a lateral angle, distance from the lateral tibia to the media fibula, make fibula cut this distance plus 2 cm proximal to the tibia cut, use a power saw with irrigation to make the tibia cut, transect and taper the posterior musculature, this is done to provide a tension free myodesis, this should be performed at the level of the tibial bone cut, identify and dissect the tibial nerve from the vasculature, inject the nerve with 1% lidocaine then sharpy transect under gentle traction, identify and ligate the posterior tibial artery with ligature suture, ligate the veins with vasvular clips or ligature suture, resect remaining posterior compartment to the level of the distal tibia cut, begin the bevel outside of the medullary canal at 45 degree angle, drill holes just anterior to the bone bevel for myodesis, use a locking style Krackow suture through the gastroc apneurosis and secure it to the tibia, secure the borders of the gastrocnemius to the proximal anterior fascia, recheck for remaining peripheral bleeders, skin closure with 2-0 nylon (vertical/horizontal mattress), do not want

T.F$,!Ig`x` g a few considerations -- the patient tibial length overall may not allow an assumption to indicate appropriately weather it is high, mid or low. A skin incision is made down to the fascia circumferentially. [4]The rates of lower extremity amputation have declined in recent years, but 3500trauma-relatedamputations are still performed in the United States each year.
