Importance of Ligating The Sciatic Nerve in Above Knee Amputation To Prevent Neuroma Formation
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: Sciatic nerve having rich vascularity, has a very high tendency to develop neuroma formation after being cut in above knee amputation1 . We compared neuroma formation at its cut end after ligating the cord to its being left open in patients who undergo above knee amputation. Patients were assessed for nerve thickening by comparing it with opposite site at same level with a sonogram. Patients with cut ends ligated had less chance of developing neuroma formation. We thus conclude that it is better to ligate the cut end of sciatic nerve in above knee amputation
