Primary amputation

advies bij Primaire amputatie - Primary amputation at AOFE clinics

Primary amputation with or without osseointegration prosthesis

Usually, after a serious accident or infection, often with several operations, an arm or leg can become so disfigured that amputation is the best option as a last resort. Because there are few surgeons who specifically specialise in arm and leg amputations and reconstructive surgery such as osseointegration is also little known, amputation is not readily advised.

Some people have a fixed knee with which they have many problems. People with such a dysfunctional or painful arm or leg are often insufficiently aware of the options available after amputation. Primary amputations at AOFE Clinics can be performed by a highly experienced and dedicated team of specialists at every level in close consultation with a rehabilitation doctor and prosthetist.
