Hemicorporectomy is a procedure where the lumbar spine and spinal cord, pelvic bones and contents, lower extremities and external genitalia are surgically removed. The rehabilitation process, in addition to being prolonged and costly, is challenging. This article reports the rehabilitation process for hemicorporectomy and shows the innovative solutions for mobility for this disability for two cases of paraplegic patients: case 1 due to traumatic spinal cord injury due to firearm injury and case 2 due to lumbosacral myelomeningocele. They presented chronic pressure ulcer which evolved to neoplastic transformation. (squamous cell carcinoma - Marjolin's ulcer). The cases were submitted to L4 hemicorporectomy and were rehabilitated to ensure the right to mobility independence for activities of daily living; social inclusion; prevention of comorbidities and pluralization of disabilities.

  • How Is the Long-Term Quality of Life Following Hemicorporectomy? a Case Report of a Patient with 16 Years of Follow-Up
    Case Report World Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research Published: 19 Dec, 2020 How is the Long-Term Quality of Life Following Hemicorporectomy? A Case Report of a Patient with 16 Years of Follow-Up Gerardo Gallucci* Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Argentina Abstract A 25-year-old male patient was referred due to a motorcycle accident that occurred five years previously. The injury had caused a fracture at the D10 level and paraplegia with a sensitive level compatible with the injury. His neurological status was classified as Frankel A. Introduction Hemicorporectomy (HC), or translumbar amputation, is a radical surgery that involves amputation of the pelvis and lower extremities by disarticulation through the lumbar spine with concomitant transaction of the aorta, inferior vena cava, and spinal cord. It is also accompanied by the corresponding urinary and intestinal diversion. It was initially proposed by Kredel [1] in 1951, but successfully performed for the first time by Kennedy et al. [2] in 1960. Initially indicated for severe invasive tumors of the pelvis, HC has also been proposed for severe pelvic and lower extremity trauma [3], vascular malformations [4], acute aortic occlusion [5], recurrent perianal and scrotal fistulas and intractable decubitus ulcers in paraplegic patients [6], and end-stage pelvic osteomyelitis [7-9]. The death rate is about 50%. To date, 66 cases of HC have been described in the literature [10]. Although this high mortality rate has decreased in recent years, the equipment of the entire lower body continues to be extremely complex and poorly tolerant. Therefore, most of the patients are confined to a wheelchair, and their social and labor inclusion is extraordinarily limited.

  • Prosthesis Design for Bilateral Hip Disarticulation Management
    Advances in Robotics, Mechatronics and Circuits Prosthesis Design for Bilateral Hip Disarticulation Management Ing. Mauricio Plaza Torres PhD, Ing. William Aperador. PhD UNIVERSIDAD MILITAR NUEVA GRANADA Abstract—Hip disarticulation is an amputation through the hip joint capsule, removing the entire lower extremity, with closure of the remaining musculature over the exposed acetabulum. Tumors of the distal and proximal femur were treated by total femur resection; a hip disarticulation sometimes is performance for massive trauma with crush injuries to the lower extremity. This article discusses the design a system for rehabilitation of a patient with bilateral hip disarticulations. The prosthetics designed allowed the patient to do natural gait suspended between parallel articulate crutches with the body weight support between the crutches. The care of this patient was a challenge due to bilateral amputations at such a high level and the special needs of a patient mobility. Keywords— Amputation, prosthesis, mobility, hemipelvectomy I. INTRODUCTION ip disarticulation is the removal of the entire lower H extremity through the hip joint Hip. Disarticulation amputations are relatively rare [1],[2],[3]. For this reason there is no much research on this area to give solution specific to a self-mobility. They are usually performed when malignant disease of the pelvis, hip joint or upper thigh cannot be treated by more conservative means. Sometimes they are performed if osteomyelitis of the pelvis or proximal femur or certain massive benign tumors

PAPAGELOPOULOS, MD, DSC abstract Full article available online at ORTHOSuperSite.com. Search: 20120123-40 The complexity of pelvic anatomy and the extent of tumor growth makes treatment of patients with primary bone sarcomas in the pelvis diffi cult in terms of local con- trol. Before the 1970s, most tumors in the bony pelvis were surgically treated with hindquarter amputation. Currently, improved techniques for clinical staging, adjuvant treatments, evolutions in metallurgy, and development of new surgical techniques make limb-salvage surgery and reconstruction possible alternatives to hemipelvec- tomy and resection–arthrodesis. The advantages of amputation over resections at the pelvis are a lower incidence of complications, a limited area at risk for recurrence, and a faster recovery time compared with all but the most limited pelvic resections. The disadvantages, especially after periacetabular resections, are leg-length discrepancy and impaired hip and gait function. The indication for limb salvage is the ability to obtain wide margins without compromising survival and function. Although having to resect the sciatic nerve to obtain adequate margins does not always mean that an amputation should be performed, the combination of a major pelvic resection and the functional consequences of sciatic nerve resection results in an extremity usually not worth saving; loss of femoral nerve function does not result in a signifi cant gait Figure: Types of pelvic and proximal femoral re- sections. disturbance, especially if the hemipelvis is stable. Reconstruction options after major pelvic resections have also evolved, but they remain diffi cult, especially when the acetabulum is involved.
