Bone spur from leg amputation?
I heard of a 14 year old boy who's leg been amputated need to have an operation for a bone spur.
Do amputees face any other future surgeries after the amputation?
What exactly is it/what happen during the operation when the amputee has a bone spur?
How many years after having the feeler amputated can they have a bone spur?
I'm kind of confused.Can somebody please explain this all for me?
Answers: I have a bone spur 10 years after my first amputation. How ever I had a few revisions after the first surgery.
Bone spurs are a boney growth where two bones are connected or have be removed. People who have had reconstruction surgery can also develop bone spurs.
It's only a little piece of bone that grows away from the bone. It isn't cancer or anything but it can be painful.
The doctor opens up the site and clips the spur out. My surgery took 30 minutes and I go home the same day.
Sometimes amputees need revisions to their amputations. If adjectives problems develop with scar tissue, length, or sensation the stump may need further work done.
Revisions are not adjectives in most cases. however those who loose their limbs due to accidents or ailment may need a revision should future problems arise.
There is no way to know who will develope bone spurs and who won't.
I have an amputataion 6 years ago and never had any problems.
A friend had an amputation 13 years ago and she has not have any problems. But I know a couple of people who have developed bone spurs in lately 2 or 3 years. Some only get one, and when it is taken care of they are fine. A few obtain them reoccyring every few years. They sometimes need a revision to stop them from comming back.
There are a lot of things that can effect weather an amputee will entail further surgeries at some point. There isn't room here to explaine all of them.
You can contact me if you want any moreminfo.
