Hip disarticulation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under a hip disarticulation refers to the amputation of an entire leg in the hip joint . The most common causes for this are tumors and trauma . Further amputations in the hip area are the ultra-high thigh amputation, the hemipelvectomy and the hemicorporectomy .

The prosthetic treatment is very complex, especially since the entire pelvic side has to be included to load and relieve pressure, but it is far more promising than in patients with a hemipelvectomy. This is done with the plaster model and a cast resin formwork formed around it. This is followed by a part where the replaced hip joint was to take over its function. Then there are the other components, such as those used for thigh prostheses .
