The growth of the stump has been studied in eighteen children with below-knee amputations. Measurements were available shortly after operation and later at skeletal maturity. It was found that all patients achieved less than expected growth and that the reduction was greater in those patients who had had amputation for congenital deformity.
对18名下肢截肢儿童的残肢生长情况进行了研究。术后不久及骨骼成熟后期均有测量数据。结果发现,所有患者的生长均低于预期,且因先天性畸形而截肢的患者生长减少幅度更大。
