In this condition we may not apply the entire template to the generic subject (bone tumors) but should apply it to each type of tumor. --Mylesclough 05:24, 8 October 2005 (UTC) Well i think that the picture on the cover is weired...[reply]

Weeding the link farm

The collection of external links had several major problems. Links to fundraisers are prohibited, even "for a good cause". Two links were just advertisements for companies. Please review the external links guidelines before adding any more links to this article. Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:59, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed

I added this request to the information about secondary bone tumors. I would like to verify the accuracy of this statement, and will do some research. Meanwhile, if the author would provide a citation it would be most helpful. Tell someone (talk) 07:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracies

Will have to come back to this article soon, it is full of inaccurate expressions and terminology. Gives me the impression it was not written by a specialist or even a graduate. SpectacularMisfit 10:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Types of amputation

Lower limb (Thigh, leg, foot)

Below knee (transtibial)
Above knee (transfemoral)
Symes (through the ankle joint where the foot is removed, but the heel pad is saved so the patient can put weight on the leg without a prosthesis)
At the hip (Hip disarticulation)
Hemipelvectomy or hindquarter, in which the whole leg is removed with one half of the pelvis
Foot, including toes or partial foot
At the ankle (Ankle disarticulation)

Upper Limb (Arm, forearm, hand)

At the elbow (Elbow disarticulation)
Below elbow (transradial)
Above elbow (transhumeral)
At the shoulder (Shoulder disarticulation)
Forequarter (amputation of the whole arm, along with the shoulder blade and the clavicle - above the shoulder)
At the wrist (Wrist disarticulation)
Fingers or partial hand (transcarpal)

The most radical of amputations is hemicorporectomy (translumbar or waist amputation) which removes the legs, the pelvis, urinary system, excretory system and the genital area (penis/testes in males and vagina/vulva in females). This operation is done in two stages. First stage is doing the colostomy and the urinary conduit, the second stage is the amputation. This is a mutilating operation and is only done as a last resort (e.g. when even pelvic exenteration does not work or in cases of advanced pelvic/reproductive cancers).

Another type of surgery is called Van Nes rotation or rotationplasty which is a form of amputation, in which the patient's foot is turned upwards in a 180-degree turn and the upturned foot is used as a knee.
