Dear List;

 

I am providing consultation to a young lady with a non-functional TT
amputation that is considering a revision above the knee. Prior to the
amputation she was very active and she has expressed the desire to
return to higher level activities such as running. She has had
differing opinions on whether to seek a Trans-femoral level amputation
or a Knee Disarticulation amputation. Can the list kindly give me their
professional opinions on the TF vs. KD topic? Rational for a particular
opinion would be preferred.

 

Thank you in advance.
