The amputation proposed by R. Gritti in 1857 involves a supracondylar operation with repair surgery to the patella, which is attached to the femur, allowing a long stump to be maintained. Principal criticisms were related to the apparatus used, until be availability of a prosthetic knee occupying minimal spaces and allowing alignment with the healthy knee. Weight bearing is terminal with a light prosthesis that locks in without difficulty. It can therefore be substituted for conventional lower third of thigh amputations in certain cases.
1857年R. 格里蒂提出的截肢手术涉及髁上手术以及对与股骨相连的髌骨进行修复手术，从而能够保留较长的残肢。主要的批评意见与所使用的器械有关，直到出现了一种占用空间极小且能与健康膝盖对齐的假肢膝关节。使用轻便且能轻松锁定的假肢时，负重是在末期阶段。因此，在某些情况下，它可以替代传统的大腿下三分之一截肢手术。
