Dr. Kilfoil Journal Article Review: Deliberations About Partial Foot Amputations

Journal Article review: Deliberations about Partial Foot Amputations As podiatric surgeons one of the least favorite procedures that we perform are amputations. nobody wants an amputation. everybody wants to keep as much of their body intact as possible however sometimes leaving what is normally considered perfectly healthy tissue attached to the body is paradoxically unfavorable today we're going to review an important article in my opinion that challenges the idea that keeping more foot is more better. Welcome to dr. K’s Journal Article Review: The Title of this article Is deliberations about the functional benefits and complications of partial foot amputation: do we pay heed to the purported benefits at the expense of minimizing complications. every published in the Journal archives of Physical Medicine and Rehab in 2013 is written by Michael Dillon PhD and Stefania Fatone PhD, They both are experts in Prosthetics and Orthotics in Australia in Chicago respectively I want to just make some definitions: partial foot amputation exist at these levels shown on this picture here: they can be called metatarsal phalangeal disarticulation transmetatarsal amputation show part amputation lisfranc amputation but these are all partial foot amputation here is the level of a below knee amputation also known as a transtibial amputation here's the level of an above knee amputation also known as a transfemoral amputation and a hip disarticulation it's even more proximal than that Abstract: when deciding the level of amputation your surgeons going to choose whether to leave as much of your foot as possible, or choose an amputation level they'll provide the most function. choosing a more proximal amputation level also could reduce the need for a secondary hospital visit I can reduce the chances of having wound complications after the amputation. in the past is been the popular View to leave as much food as possible meaning a partial foot amputation because it is perceived that it's going to take more energy to walk with a proximal amputation the quality of life will be decreased the proximal amputation, end that leaving more foot will lead to a more normal gait and strength. this article attacks every single one of those beliefs, and that argues a morel proximal amputation may be in the best interests of the patient contrary popular belief.
