Abstract

Case:We report a case of a right knee lateral bucket-handle meniscal tear repair in a 25-year-old woman bilateral below-knee amputee. At the 4-year follow-up, the patient was ambulatory in a prosthesis with a successful outcome.Conclusion:Meniscus repair in below-knee amputees requires careful evaluation and surgical management. Specific consideration should be given to evaluating limb alignment, maintaining the stump integrity, surgical technique, modified bracing, and rehabilitation. This case report demonstrates that bucket-handle meniscus repair can be successful in a below-knee amputee.
