Kineplasty

Kineplasty is an innovative technology for amputation of limbs, which allows you to preserve the muscular corset of the affected limb for subsequent use as a control for an artificial prosthesis.

Traditional amputation involves removing the affected limb along with the muscle corset, which significantly limits a person’s capabilities after using a prosthesis. Kineplasty is designed to preserve muscle tissue, which can later be used to control an artificial prosthesis.

The kineplasty process begins with removal of the affected limb at the joint level. The muscles and tendons are then preserved and tied to a small piece of bone, which is left inside the body. This piece of bone is called "osteomyoplasty".

During the rehabilitation process after amputation, the patient is provided with an artificial prosthesis, which is connected to osteomyoplasty. Thanks to the preserved muscles and tendons, a person can control the prosthesis and make various movements.

Kineplasty has a number of advantages compared to traditional amputation. First, preserving muscle tissue can increase the patient's quality of life after amputation. Secondly, thanks to the preserved muscles and tendons, control of the prosthesis becomes more natural and easier.

However, kineplastics has a number of disadvantages. The procedure is more complex and requires longer recovery time. Additionally, not all patients may be candidates for kineplasty, as the procedure requires a certain level of muscle mass to maintain sufficient control of the prosthesis.

Overall, kineplasty is an innovative technology that can significantly improve the quality of life of patients after amputation. However, before deciding on the procedure, you must consult with a qualified doctor and evaluate all its advantages and disadvantages.

Kineplasty is a type of amputation in which the muscles and tendons of the affected limb are left in such a form that they can later be connected to a specially made artificial prosthesis. Thanks to the contractions of these muscles, a person can make various movements with the prosthesis.

With kineplasty, the surgeon tries to preserve the muscles and tendons of the limb as much as possible. This allows you to later install a prosthesis that will move due to the contraction of these muscles. For example, when amputating a leg, the doctor may leave the calf tendons. A prosthetic foot is then connected to these tendons. When the calf muscle contracts, the prosthetic foot flexes, imitating natural movement.

Thus, kineplasty makes it possible to install a functional prosthesis, which allows you to restore some of the lost motor functions. This significantly improves the quality of life of patients after amputation.

Kineplasty is a type of limb amputation in which not only the affected limb is removed, but also the muscles and tendons are preserved. Thus, after an amputation, a person can use special prostheses that connect to the remaining muscles and tendons. This allows a person to retain some functions of the limb and even make movements with the help of a prosthesis.

Kineplasty was developed in the late 19th century by French surgeon Pierre Fallot. He noted that after amputation, people can retain some movement if they use prosthetics connected to the remaining tendons and muscles.

Currently, kineplasty is used to treat various diseases such as diabetes, arthritis and other diseases that lead to limb loss. In such cases, in addition to preserving limb function, kineplasty also helps improve the patient’s quality of life.

However, kineplasty has its drawbacks. Firstly, this is a very complex operation that requires a highly qualified surgeon and special equipment. Secondly, sparing muscles and tendons can lead to some complications such as infections and pain.

Despite this, kineplasty remains one of the most effective treatments for limb loss. It allows you to maintain the functionality of the limb and improve the quality of life of patients, especially in cases of serious diseases.
