This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Claw amputation, Equipment and materials include suture material, Procedures of Low and High Digit Amputation as well as Disarticulation of P1 and P2 Starts with Opening incision and undermining of skin of underlying digit. (MO), Equipment and materials include buhner's needle, Once digit is removed, the cut surface of the removed portion should be carefully examined for evidence of sepsiss or necrosis. (MO) in cases of evidence of infection ascending from deep digital flexor tendon The deep digital flexor tendon would be removed from side of amputated digit (MO), the skin flap is closed by a horizontal mattress suture pattern Bandaging After determining that all diseased tissue is removed, the surface of the wound is covered with an antiseptic or antibiotic dressing and a bandage applied to control hemorrhage. The bandage should be removed or changed in about 1 week if there was no need for maintaining drainage of septic regions proximal to the incision. If a tendon resection is performed the bandage should be removed in 2 or 3 days. Parenteral antibiotics are usually given for 5 days., Gigli wire is placed in incision in the interdigital space to commence amputation; area that is sawed through depends on method of amputation. (MO) removal of the digit Once digit is removed, the cut surface of the removed portion should be carefully examined for evidence of sepsiss or necrosis. (MO), Equipment and materials include gloves, Opening incision and undermining of skin of underlying digit. (MO) followed by amputaion Gigli wire is placed in incision in the interdigital space to commence amputation; area that is sawed through depends on method of amputation. (MO), Methods of Claw Amputation done under Intravenous regional anaesthesia, Equipment and materials include suture material, 18 gauge needle, Methods of Claw Amputation includes Procedures of Low and High Digit Amputation as well as Disarticulation of P1 and P2, Equipment and materials include Gigli wire, Methods of Claw Amputation perfromed with Equipment and materials, Equipment and materials include scalpel blade and handle, Once digit is removed, the cut surface of the removed portion should be carefully examined for evidence of sepsiss or necrosis. (MO) closing of the skin flap the skin flap is closed by a horizontal mattress suture pattern
