Stages of frostbite

Frostbite amputations

Areas that are usually affected include cheeks, ears, nose, and fingers and toes. Frostbite is often preceded by frostnip. The symptoms of frostbite progress with prolonged exposure to cold. Historically, frostbite has been classified by degrees according to skin and sensation changes, similar to burn classifications. However, the degrees do not correspond to the amount of long term damage. A simplification of this system of classification is superficial (first or second degree) or deep injury (third or fourth degree).

Cirugía * ART LAB

Amputación traumática. Pág.2. Cirugía radical en el aparato locomotor

La amputación es irreversible; ningún miembro artificial posee percepción sensitiva, de manera que es importante no eliminar una extremidad que tenga intacta su sensibilidad (aunque con dolor tolerable), aun cuando haya desaparecido la función motora.
La mayor parte de las técnicas de amputación en los adultos son útiles también para niños, pero, en estos casos, los factores de crecimiento corporal general y de crecimiento del muñón son bastante significativos.
Por ejemplo, una amputación en la mitad del muslo en un niño de cinco años, puede dar por resultado un muñón extremadamente corto a la edad de catorce años, porque se eliminó la epífisis femoral inferior; en contraste, una amputación por debajo de la rodilla en la que se preserva un muñón muy corto a los cinco años, puede determinar un muñón satisfactorio a los catorce años, porque habrá continuado el crecimiento de la epífisis tibial superior
