Abstract:
The Krukenberg operation--creating a sensory forceps--is indicated principally in bilateral below elbow amputation with blindness. Other indications are proposed, in particular in children. The limitations to this procedure are essentially aesthetic problems and should not be minimized. The operative technique is described in details.
