Below Knee Amputation In the OT

Watch this video and follow the procedure of a below knee amputation step-by-step. Important things to keep in mind while doing an amputation are: Leave adequate soft tissue coverage where possible. Make sure no sharp bony ends are left. Retract the nerve prior to cutting to prevent a neuroma formation close to the skin (it is very painful compared to an intramuscular neuroma).
