Pirogoff

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Limb salvage procedures

Background:

  • Pirogoff's amputation aims for a functional, weight-bearing hindfoot stump.
  • Preserving heel sensation and minimizing limb length loss are key objectives.

Observation:

  • This study evaluated a modified Pirogoff's amputation technique in six patients.
  • Indications included complex trauma, infection, and vasculopathy affecting the forefoot and midfoot.

Findings:

  • Primary wound healing occurred in 75% of patients (4/6).
  • Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis healed successfully in all cases where performed.
  • Four patients achieved early prosthetic fitting, and all healed stumps allowed short-distance barefoot walking.

Implications:

  • Modified Pirogoff's amputation offers a viable limb salvage option for complex foot conditions.
  • Successful tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis facilitates a functional, weight-bearing stump.
  • This technique can improve patient mobility and quality of life post-amputation.
