Non-periosteal amputation is an operation to remove part of a limb or joint without damaging the periosteum. It is performed in cases where it is necessary to remove a tumor or infected area of tissue, but at the same time maintain the functionality of the limb.
To perform boneless amputation, special preparation is required. The doctor must determine the location and size of the area to be removed, as well as assess the condition of the blood vessels and nerves. If all conditions are met, the operation is quick and painless for the patient.
After surgery, a scar forms at the site of removal, which may be more noticeable than after a conventional amputation. However, this is not an obstacle to restoring limb function. Patients can return to normal life within a few months after surgery.
In general, boneless amputations are an effective treatment for many diseases associated with limb damage. They allow you to maintain functionality and reduce the risk of complications.
Amputation is a surgical operation to remove a part of the body through complete excision of bone along with soft tissue and regional lymph nodes. This is a serious type of surgery. It is usually performed in an emergency and for health reasons in case of gangrene of the limb, widespread osteomyelitis, and severe venous thromboembolism.
