Hemicorporectomy and Prosthetic Equipment. Report of a Case at 15 Years of Follow-up
Abstract
Hemicorporectomy or translumbar amputation is a radical surgery indicated in localized pelvic tumors, chronic osteomyelitis, severe trauma, and intractable decubitus ulcers in paraplegic patients. It has a death rate of about 50% and most of the patients are confined to a wheelchair. The equipment of the entire lower body is extremely complex. We report a case of a patient with a hemicorporectomy, sequel to pelvic osteomyelitis, his subsequent complete equipment, and his evolution after 15 years of follow-up.Downloads
