Abstract

The Ewing Amputation is a modified approach to transtibial amputation (TTA) that incorporates the construction of agonist-antagonist myoneural interfaces (AMIs) at the time of limb sacrifice. We here present the lessons learned to date in our experience performing this procedure at a single institution, including those relevant to operative technique and perioperative management. It is our intent that, in providing this perspective, other providers are better facilitated to perform this procedure in a safe and efficient manner.
