Amputation
Amputation ( 38 Questions)
During an amputation procedure, which structure is typically left intact to facilitate prosthetic fitting?
Muscles: While muscles are involved in the surgical procedure, they are typically resected to the appropriate level to accommodate the prosthetic device.
Nerves: Nerves are carefully dissected and secured during the amputation procedure to prevent neuromas and phantom limb pain but are not left intact for prosthetic fitting.
Tendons: Tendons are typically resected during the amputation procedure, and their positioning and attachment are crucial for proper wound closure and healing, but they are not left intact for prosthetic fitting.
During an amputation procedure, the bone stump is typically left intact to provide a stable base for prosthetic fitting. The muscles, nerves, and tendons are carefully dissected and secured to prevent complications and facilitate healing.
