Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Severe hind foot injuries often necessitate amputation.
  • Traditional amputation methods can lead to functional deficits.

Observation:

  • A modified Pirogoff amputation was performed on six patients with serious hind foot injuries.
  • The procedure involves amputation at the ankle with partial calcaneus preservation.

Findings:

  • All patients reported satisfaction with their stumps, experiencing no stump or phantom pain.
  • Patients could ambulate indoors without prosthesis post-surgery.

Implications:

  • The modified Pirogoff amputation is a viable option for specific hind foot trauma cases.
  • This technique may improve functional outcomes and patient satisfaction in complex foot injuries.
