[Functional characteristics of the upper leg stumps after knee joint disarticulation and prosthesis].
In this article is presented the 20-years experience of surgical preparation and prosthetics of 62 invalids with the femur stumps after knee joint exarticulation at the age of 5-65 years in the clinic of LNIIP. New methods of distal epiphysis transposition with muscle connection preservation instead of diaphysial femur amputations were applied to the patients with the integument defects. There have been broadened and made more accurate indications for knee joint exarticulation as a consequence of a trauma as well as in case of vascular diseases. Prosthetic appliances are made with utilization of modified monocentric knee units, polycentric modules and frame-type full-contact sockets of new design.
