To overcome the difficulties, the surgical technique has been modified, and a functional, cosmetic prosthesis was fabricated. The surgical technique provides a less bulbous distal end with sufficient clearance from the distal end to the floor, to enable fabrication and fitting of a cosmetically acceptable prosthesis. Of the 107 cases of Symes amputation which were treated 79 had the above operation and prosthesis with very satisfactory results. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 1985003427 |
