520 |a Background/Aim: The pattern of lower-limb amputation, indications, complications, and revision in pediatric cases differs globally. Therefore, we conducted this study to describe the patterns of lower-limb amputation at our institution. Methods: During a set period between 2010 and 2020, adolescent patients undergoing lower-limb amputation within the orthopedic department of Heidelberg University Hospital were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The retrieved dataset included two parts: data on lower-limb amputations and data on subsequent complications and revision surgeries at the same time. Besides patients’ general information (age, gender), the dataset included data regarding amputation patterns (number, indications, and level of amputation, complications, and revision surgeries and their indications). Results: Twenty-two patients undergoing lower-limb amputation were examined, of which the majority were males (63.6%) with a mean age of 12 (5.1) years. Tumor was the most common indication for amputation (72.7%), and transfemoral amputation was the most frequent level (68.2%). Complications occurred in 10 patients, mostly due to stump impalement or bony overgrowth. Of all recorded patients requiring revision, nine were regarding bone and one case regarding soft tissue. Conclusions: Lower-limb amputation in adolescents is a rare encounter and it is commonly indicated due to bone tumors. The thigh is the most common level of amputation. Postoperative complications are frequent, mainly secondary to bony overgrowth, and often require revision surgery.
