  • Amputacije in protetika danes
    Marinček, Črt
    Amputation or disarticulation of the lower extremity can be done at several levels, through the foot, the ankle, the shank, the knee, the thigh, the hip and the pelvis. Several names have been used ... to name and distinguish these levels, until one nomenclature was agreed upon. This happened during the ISPO Consensus Conference on Amputation Surgery, at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, held on 1-5 October 1990. The nomenclature chosen, was the international standard as laid down in the document ISO/CD 8548: part 2 - Method of describing lower limb amputation stumps, of the International Standardization Organisation. In the following table the official names of therespective levels are mentioned in the left column. The right column shows some previous used names. The history ofprosthetics in Slovenia has rich tradition. It started with many war victims after 1. world war battles mainly in Soča valley. There is special chapter at the end of this book about historyof prosthetics in Slovenia. Nowadays, the situation is similar as in most of European countries. The main indication for amputations are peripheralvascular diseases and there are still more transfemoral than transtibial amputations. The majority of sockets for transfemoral prostheses are made from wood. In spite of new graduates from University College for Health Studies (61 from 1987) it is not so easy to change technology so popular among orthopaedic technicians and old patients who generally do not like to change type of prostheses they are used to use. However, new CAD-CAM technology will be another step in the progress of prosthetic care provision in Slovenia as well as the use of rehabilitation outcome measurement (FIM and Locomotor Capacibility Index).
