title: [The care of amputation stumps by osteo-myeloplastic according to v. Ertl].
abstract: The osteo-myoplastic operation of stumps induces the formation of an osseous bridge between the tibia and fibula. The surgical procedure consists of using flexible cortico-periosteal flaps after subcortico-periosteal resection of the osseous stumps. At the same time a myoplastic operation is performed connecting the adductors with the abductors, the flexors with the extensors respectively. The operation technique is described in details. With this treatment a stump is formed that permits exposure to pressure. The stump can be used like a heel. Besides further advantages by this operation the neuro-vascular system becomes normalized. This always causes the preoperative pains to be passed.
