Histological and histochemical investigations of muscles in 18 patients have shown that when performing primary amputations of lower extremities according to the type of surgical treatment in the wound stump there necessarily remains muscular tissue of lower viability with necrotic areas.

Diaphyseal shin amputations with transposition of the plantar skin and calcanean tuber on the neurovascular bundle were performed upon 4 cases. The late results have been studied. The patients use prothesis with the support on the end of the stump, and walk without the walking-stick. The authors believe it possible to carry out such operations, under the conditions of a specialized medical institution, for severe injuries to the lower extremities complicated with shock after a thorough debridement of the wound.
