Amputations (Above/Below Elbow or Knee) in Pune by Expert Surgeons
What is Amputations?
When bone tumors, severe trauma, or infections cannot be treated with limb salvage surgery, amputation becomes a life-saving procedure. It involves the surgical removal of part of a limb such as an above knee amputation, leg amputation below the knee, below elbow amputation, or above elbow amputation.
At Sancheti Hospital, our orthopedic oncologists perform below knee amputation surgery and below elbow amputation surgery with precision, ensuring maximum preservation of healthy tissue. After surgery, advanced prosthetic solutions like below knee amputation prosthetics and below elbow amputation prosthesis are provided to help patients regain mobility and independence.
Benefits of Amputation Surgery
- Removes malignant or infected tissue when other options are not viable
- Provides pain relief and improves overall health outcomes
- Prevents the spread of cancer in cases of advanced bone tumors
- Allows patients to use modern prosthetic devices for mobility and function
- Enhances quality of life when combined with proper rehabilitation
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Permanent loss of natural limb function
- Emotional and psychological challenges for patients and families
- Adaptation period required to use prosthetics effectively
- Risk of phantom limb pain or stump complications
- Longer rehabilitation compared to some limb salvage procedures

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between above knee and below knee amputation?
An above knee amputation involves removing the leg above the knee joint, while a leg amputation below the knee preserves the knee joint, allowing better mobility with prosthetics.
When is amputation necessary?
Amputation is performed when bone tumors, infections, or injuries cannot be controlled with limb salvage surgery or reconstruction.
What prosthetics are available after amputation?
Modern prosthetics such as below knee amputation prosthetics and below elbow amputation prosthesis provide excellent functionality and mobility.
Is recovery easier after below knee amputation surgery compared to above knee?
Yes, patients with below knee amputation surgery often adapt better to prosthetics as the knee joint is preserved, offering more natural movement.
How long does it take to recover after amputation?
Initial recovery may take 6–12 weeks, but full rehabilitation with prosthetics can take several months depending on patient progress.
Will I feel pain after amputation?
Some patients experience phantom limb pain, which can be managed with medications, nerve treatments, and physiotherapy.
Can children undergo below elbow or below knee amputation surgery?
Yes, amputations are sometimes necessary in children with tumors or severe trauma. Pediatric rehabilitation and prosthetics help them adapt successfully.
