Hemipelvectomy (or transpelvic amputation)& Hip-disarticulation are the rarest of lower extremity amputations. A complete hemipelvectomy is the amputation of half of the pelvis and the leg on that side. A hip-disarticulation is the amputation through the hip joint capsule, removing the entire lower extremity.
Hemipelvectomy/Hip-Disarticulation may be required for several reasons, such as a car accident or cancer. Examples of cancers that can require HPs or HDs are sarcomas like Ewing's Sarcoma, osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma.
People who have experienced a hemipelvectomy may or may not qualify for a prosthesis. For those who do qualify, it takes 100% to 200%+ more energy to walk on their prosthetic leg than "normal" walking.
"Hemis & Hips" make up less than 1% of the amputee world population! It can get lonely out there for us HPs & HDs! So come on in for a chat... |
