transtibiaaliseen
Transtibialization is a surgical procedure involving the partial or total amputation of a lower limb. The transtibial stumps are the ends of the leg bones left after amputation, which serve as a platform for prosthetic limbs. This surgical technique allows for the preservation of a longer residual limb, typically at the mid-calf level, rather than a more proximal (closer to the body) level.
The aims of transtibialization include preserving more limb length, maintaining as much muscle and nerve function
There are different types of transtibial surgical approaches used in amputation procedures. One common approach is
Overall, transtibialization is an essential factor in prosthetic care. Adequate training and surgical skills are required
