TABLE II. AMPUTATION LEVELS—LOWER LIMB 1When the amputation was close to a joint, the epiphyseal growth plate or scar would be the reference line, e.g., an amputation just above the level of the distal femoral growth scar would be "Th, partial (or lower 1/3)"; one at the scar or between the scar and joint would be "leg, complete." 2 "Partial thigh" would be the new general term for above-knee (AK); and "partial leg" for below knee (BK).
PROSTHETICS TYPES During the course of the discussion on nomenclature to describe amputation levels, it became apparent that the same nomenclature should be used to identify the prostheses which would be fitted to these levels. For example, acomplete leg prosthesis would be fitted to a"leg, complete" (or knee disarticulation) amputation (Figs. 11-13). NEXT STEPS AMPUTATION LEVELS Following adoption of the new nomenclature to designate amputation levels and types of prostheses, the Task Force made three additional recommendations: • That an article describing the new nomenclature be developed for possible publication in Orthotics and Prosthetics and other journals. 3 Fig. 7.
