We report on cutaneous limb manifestations of Kaposi's sarcoma and the secondary infection of these lesions that necessitated five lower-limb amputations.
The cases are briefly described and prosthetic adaptations in respect to pressure, traction and sweating on the skin are considered.
All four patients ambulated initially; one lady died, the double amputee stopped walking owing to the excessive physical demand, and two patients ambulate freely.
Special considerations to the cutaneous/prosthesis interface are necessary in order to provide these patients with optimal ambulatory ability.
我们报告卡波西肉瘤的皮肤肢体表现以及这些病变的继发感染,这些感染导致了五次下肢截肢。
简要描述病例,并考虑在压力、牵引和皮肤出汗方面的假肢适配情况。
所有四名患者最初都能行走;一名女性死亡,双侧截肢者因身体需求过大而停止行走,两名患者可自由行走。
为了使这些患者具有最佳的行走能力,有必要对皮肤/假肢界面给予特殊考虑。
