describes the steps of the procedure to the attending prior to the start of the case, describe potential complications and steps to avoid them, place small bump under ipsilateral hip to internally rotate the leg, mark the anterior incision 10cm distal to tibial tubercle, this incision is also15cm from knee joint line, anterior incision 2/3 total circumference, posterior incision 1/3 total circumference, mark out the posterior flap so that it is 1.5 times the length of the anterior flap, this is extremely important because it allows for redundant posterior flap upon closure, the posterior flap should be distal to the musculotendinous junction of the gastrocnemius, round out the distal ends of the posterior skin flap to reduce redundancy of skin upon closure, incise the entire circumference of the skin incision through the underlying fascia, direct the vertical incison over the anterior crest of the tibia to facilitate exposure of the anterior periosteal flap, identify the superficial and deep peroneal nerves, place gentle traction and resect nerves using sharp dissection, sharply dissect through the anterior compartment musculature at the most proximal end of the wound, this reduces bulk and makes the myodesis easier, identify, isolate and ligate the anterior tibial artery, elevate the perosteal flap using a single blade wide chisel, sharply incise the anterior and posterior margins of the anteriormedial tibia for 8 to 10 cm distally, raise the flap with the bevel positioned superiorly, protect the flap using a moist gauze sponge, isolate the rest of the tibia with a periosteal elevator, divide the interosseus membrane and identify the fibula, perform cut of the fibula several centimeters distal to the tibia cut, the proximal cut of the fibula is at the level of the distal tibia cut, elevate the periosteum of the fibula at this level of the cut and continue elevating for 1 cm distally, cut a notch into the posterolateral tibia to house the fibula, secure the bone bridge with non absorbable suture through holes that are made through the lateral aspect of the fibula, through the medullary canal of the transverse fibula to the medial aspect of the tibia, without a bone bridge approximately 1 cm proximal to the tibia cut at a lateral angle, distance from the lateral tibia to the media fibula, make fibula cut this distance plus 2 cm proximal to the tibia cut, use a power saw with irrigation to make the tibia cut, transect and taper the posterior musculature, this is done to provide a tension free myodesis, this should be performed at the level of the tibial bone cut, identify and dissect the tibial nerve from the vasculature, inject the nerve with 1% lidocaine then sharpy transect under gentle traction, identify and ligate the posterior tibial artery with ligature suture, ligate the veins with vasvular clips or ligature suture, resect remaining posterior compartment to the level of the distal tibia cut, begin the bevel outside of the medullary canal at 45 degree angle, drill holes just anterior to the bone bevel for myodesis, use a locking style Krackow suture through the gastroc apneurosis and secure it to the tibia, secure the borders of the gastrocnemius to the proximal anterior fascia, recheck for remaining peripheral bleeders, skin closure with 2-0 nylon (vertical/horizontal mattress), do not want to overly tighten skin as this can necrosis edges, soft incision dressing well padded to reduce pressure in incision, continue postoperative antibiotics until the drain is removed, order and interprets basic imaging studies, independent gait training with a walker or crutches, return balancing and conditioning to normal, appropriate medical management and medical consultation.

of the tibia with a periosteal elevator, divide the interosseus membrane and identify the fibula, perform cut of the fibula several centimeters distal to the tibia cut, the proximal cut of the fibula is at the level of the distal tibia cut, elevate the periosteum of the fibula at this level of the cut and continue elevating for 1 cm distally, cut a notch into the posterolateral tibia to house the fibula, secure the bone bridge with non absorbable suture through holes that are made through the lateral aspect of the fibula, through the medullary canal of the transverse fibula to the medial aspect of the tibia, without a bone bridge approximately 1 cm proximal to the tibia cut at a lateral angle, distance from the lateral tibia to the media fibula, make fibula cut this distance plus 2 cm proximal to the tibia cut, use a power saw with irrigation to make the tibia cut, transect and taper the posterior musculature, this is done to provide a tension free myodesis, this should be performed at the level of the tibial bone cut, identify and dissect the tibial nerve from the vasculature, inject the nerve with 1% lidocaine then sharpy transect under gentle traction, identify and ligate the posterior tibial artery with ligature suture, ligate the veins with vasvular clips or ligature suture, resect remaining posterior compartment to the level of the distal tibia cut, begin the bevel outside of the medullary canal at 45 degree angle, drill holes just anterior to the bone bevel for myodesis, use a locking style Krackow suture through the gastroc apneurosis and secure it to the tibia, secure the borders of the gastrocnemius to the proximal anterior fascia, recheck for remaining peripheral bleeders, skin closure with 2-0 nylon (vertical/horizontal mattress), do not want to overly tighten skin as this can necrosis edges, soft incision dressing well padded to reduce pressure in incision, continue postoperative antibiotics until the drain is removed, order and interprets basic imaging studies, independent gait training with a walker or crutches, return balancing and conditioning to normal, appropriate medical management and medical consultation. The posterior leg holds both the superficial and deep compartments, the superficial containing the soleus, gastrocnemius, and plantaris muscles. (OBQ04.227) In general, below-the-knee amputations are associated with better functional outcomes than above-the-knee amputations. The tourniquet is released, and adequate hemostasis is obtained through a cautery or ligation of major bleeding vessels.

(OBQ04.11) The tibial neurovascular structures lie within the deep compartment. (OBQ04.275) These nerves supply the dorsal surface of the foot, except for the dorsal webbed space between the first and second toe. Imaging is equally essential. Also valuable to this operation is a tourniquet, fluoroscopy, large amputation blade, oscillating bone saw or manual saw, drill and bit set for performing myodesis of muscle to bone ends, silk hand ties, rongeur, and a suction drain. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Moreover, several designs for skin flaps have been introduced to cover the amputation stump. A thigh tourniquet may be placed in a nonsterile fashion as high as possibleabove the knee to prep and expose as much of the extremity as possible, or a sterile tourniquet may be applied after the patient is draped. CCQ22017p3 provides some additional direction/assistance with this. In the peri-surgical environment surrounding a BKA, close communication across all healthcare disciplines forming the interprofessional team is paramount. I would pick 27882. Also in the anterior compartment are the deep peroneal nerve and the anterior tibial artery and vein. The patient should be prepped and draped supine, with a bump placed under the ipsilateral hip to internally rotate the operative extremity such that the knee and ankle are vertically oriented. ), which permits others to distribute the work, provided that the article is not altered or used commercially. w !1AQaq"2B #3Rbr Trauma is the next leading cause of lower-extremity amputations.

The Relationship Between Blood Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1, Fetuin-A, Fibrinogen, Homocysteine, and Amputation Level. Doppler may assess for gross blood flow, and ankle-brachial indices can evaluate an individual and lower versus upper extremities. We know we should query MDs to specify the root operation in terms for coding -- but this is a different level of definition. Venous drainage of the tibia is via the anterior and posterior tibial veins, and fibula drainage is via the fibular vein. Once surgical services, typically orthopedics, general surgery, or vascular surgery, are consulted, preparationmay be made for the operative management of critical lower limb disease. [5]This surgical operation carries significant morbidity, yet it remains a treatment modality with vital clinical and often life-saving significance given appropriate indications.
