[Experience with the reintroduction of the Sauerbruch-Lebsche operation (Sauerbruch's kineplasty)]

We have initiated the kineplasty to Sauerbruch in our clinic again. 5 patients are operated up to now. This 5 patients have one middle long and three short forearm stumps respectively one middle long upper-arm stump. One patient had a shoulder exarticulation on the contralateral side. In the first case we performed a forearm channel and in the four other cases a biceps channel. All channels have a good stroke, so the patients can have an active and cosmetic very good prosthesis with very good functional results. We ask for presentation of patients with indication to kineplasty to Sauerbruch.
