Otherwise, excessive edema will form rapidly, which could cause a significant delay in rehabilitation.
How to perform above knee amputation?The typical process for an above-the-knee amputation includes:. Making an incision above the knee.. Clamping the blood vessels.. Dividing the muscles.. Sawing through the bone.. Smoothing the thigh bone.. Shaping and sewing the muscles to form a cushiony stump over the bone.. Dividing and placing nerves to minimize pain.. What to expect after amputation surgery?Your doctor removed the leg while keeping as much healthy bone, skin, blood vessel, and nerve tissue as possible. After the surgery, you will probably have bandages, a rigid dressing, or a cast over the remaining part of your leg (remaining limb). The leg may be swollen for at least 4 weeks after your surgery.
What is the recovery time for a below the knee amputation?Your residual limb may heal as soon as 4 to 8 weeks after surgery. But it may take longer. You will need physical rehab. The rehab can sometimes start within 48 hours of your surgery.
