Amputation according to Farabefu

One of the most complex and dangerous surgical procedures is Farabeuf arm amputation, a procedure in which a surgeon removes the upper limb of a patient with gangrene. The procedure can only be performed by highly qualified specialists in a specialized clinic. Otherwise, it can lead to serious complications such as sepsis and even death.

The Farabefeu hand amputation procedure is very complex and traumatic; it is used if gangrene affects no more than two fingers above the elbow (in the shoulder area). Amputation is performed by an amputation incision along the plantar line between the anatomical structures of the forearm, muscles, nerves and blood vessels. The amputated limb is separated from the body and removed along with part of the forearm bone.
