Modern surgery, general and operative . Sedillots Leg Amputation 1415. Fig. -Lines of section of the os calcis and the bones of theleg in Pirogoffs amputation. OS calcis. Join the extremities of the first incision by another cut whichreaches to the bone, and which is | inch in front of the lower extremity of thetibia (Bryant); but saw off this bony projection obliquely and leave it adhe-rent to the tissues. The saw is used after disarticulation of the ankle-joint;it is passed behind the astragalus, cutting downward and forward, sawing the oscalcis obliquely, and leaving a considerable portion in place in the flap. Thelower ends of the tibia and fibula are well exposed by raising the anterior flapslightly; the sawing is begun anteriorly just above the articular surface, and iscompleted h inch above the articular surface posteriorly. The lines a and b(Fig. 981) show the sections made by the saw. The sawn surface of the oscalcis is brought into contact with the sawn surfaces of the tibia and fibula, andthe flaps are sutured.
