Flat feet can cause pain and affect walking
Flatfoot is a condition in which the longitudinal arch of the foot is lost. It also involves abduction of the forefoot and valgus deformity of the hind foot. In flexible flatfoot, the arch is present during non–weight bearing but is lost during weight bearing. In rigid flatfoot, the arch is absent in weight-bearing and non–weight-bearing positions.
Amputation accidents
Losing a limb is one of the most traumatic physical injuries that a person can experience. In addition to being a devastating physical injury, amputation injuries can also have a significant impact on a person’s mental health. Depending on the nature of the injury and the body part that was amputated, an injured victim may require multiple surgeries and months of physical rehabilitation, including getting fitted for and learning how to use a prosthetic, and occupational therapy.
Amputated for shark attack
According to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), between 1958 and 2016 there were 2,785 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks around the world, of which 439 were fatal. Between 2001 and 2010, an average of 4.3 people a year died as a result of shark attacks.
Tree crush amputation
Traumatic amputation is the loss of a body part, usually a finger, toe, arm, or leg, that occurs as the result of a tree crush accident or injury.
Frostbite amputations
Areas that are usually affected include cheeks, ears, nose, and fingers and toes. Frostbite is often preceded by frostnip. The symptoms of frostbite progress with prolonged exposure to cold. Historically, frostbite has been classified by degrees according to skin and sensation changes, similar to burn classifications. However, the degrees do not correspond to the amount of long term damage. A simplification of this system of classification is superficial (first or second degree) or deep injury (third or fourth degree).
Amputation for electric shock
Serious, disabling and disfiguring injuries are common and can happen after an electric shock injury. These injuries may include: (1) heart damage; (2) brain damage; (3) burns; (4) nerve damage; and/or (5) miscarriage.
Amputations caused by car accidents
A traffic collision, also known as a motor vehicle collision or car crash, is when a vehicle hits another vehicle, person, or object. Pedestrians, animals, road debris or other objects may be involved. Sometimes a trial occurs, in order to determine fault in a traffic collision.
Pie Humano * Pág.3.6. Amputación de Pirogoff
La amputación de Pirogoff fue descrita originalmente por el cirujano ruso Nicolás Pirogoff en el año 1864 y se refiere a la amputación osteoplástica distal a la articulación del tobillo, la resección del astrágalo y la fusión ósea de la tibia con el calcáneo, sus ventajas son: menor pérdida de la longitud de la extremidad y permitir la carga completa del peso corporal, así como el poder utilizar una prótesis más anatómica.
Pie Humano * Pág.3.5. Amputación de Syme o desarticulación del tobillo
Una amputación de Syme, es el nombre que recibe el proceso quirúrgico denominado desarticulación de tobillo, en otras palabras, es la operación que consiste en separar todo el pie del resto del cuerpo.
Pie Humano * Pág.3.4. Amputación de Chopart o transtarsiana
Una amputación de Chopart es la competencia más directa de la amputación de Syme. Esta amputación se realiza a través de la articulación naviculocuneiforme y cuboideometarsiana. A su favor tiene la facilidad técnica y no producir acortamiento de la extremidad.
Pie Humano * Pág.3.3. Amputación de Lisfranc o tarsometatarsiana
Una amputación de Lisfranc supone la desinserción del TA y del PB, por lo que para obtener buenos resultados es esencial rebalancear las fuerzas musculares reimplantando estos tendones. De la misma forma, es preceptivo el alargamiento del Aquiles (sobre todo en diabéticos).
Pie Humano * Pág.3.2. Amputación transmetatarsiana
La amputación transmetatarsiana (amputación parcial del pie), también llamada ATM, es la cirugía para quitar toda o una parte de su parte delantera del pie. La parte delantera de su pie incluye los huesos metatarsianos, que son cinco huesos largos entre los dedos y el tobillo.
