Abstract:
The author proposes an improved technique of amputation at the femur level. It consists in using the circular suture up to the intersection of the femur muscles for hemostasis and covering the bone stump, draining the stump through a special puncture in the posterior surface of the femur, and an intracutaneous absorbable suture.
