This case report details a Krukenberg procedure for a patient with bilateral trans-radial amputations following a train accident. The procedure resulted in good functional outcomes after rehabilitation, leading to a request for the contralateral limb.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Upper extremity rehabilitation
  • Prosthetics and orthotics

Background:

  • A 51-year-old female sustained bilateral trans-tibial and bilateral trans-radial amputations due to a train accident in 1999.
  • The patient underwent extensive rehabilitation following the initial amputations.

Observation:

  • The case report focuses on the evolution and functional outcome of the right transradial amputation.
  • A Krukenberg procedure was performed on the right forearm, converting the residual limb into a functional pincer-like mechanism.

Findings:

  • The Krukenberg procedure on the right side yielded good functional results after a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
  • The patient's positive experience and functional gains led to a subsequent request for the same procedure on her left arm.

Implications:

  • The Krukenberg procedure offers a viable reconstructive option for patients with high transradial amputations.
  • Successful rehabilitation is crucial for maximizing functional outcomes following this type of reconstructive surgery.
  • This case highlights patient-driven demand for advanced limb salvage and functional restoration techniques.
