[Experience with the reintroduction of the Sauerbruch-Lebsche operation (Sauerbruch's kineplasty)].

We have initiated the kineplasty to Sauerbruch in our clinic again. 5 patients are operated up to now. This 5 patients have one middle long and three short forearm stumps respectively one middle long upper-arm stump. One patient had a shoulder exarticulation on the contralateral side. In the first case we performed a forearm channel and in the four other cases a biceps channel. All channels have a good stroke, so the patients can have an active and cosmetic very good prosthesis with very good functional results. We ask for presentation of patients with indication to kineplasty to Sauerbruch.

[Is there a renaissance of the Sauerbruch kineplasty?].

Kineplasty had been inaugurated by Sauerbruch in 1916. It has provided for direct coupling of stump muscles to the prosthetic joint and has yielded good functional results in numerous cases. The authors permanently look for three patients who had received kineplasty for injuries in the second world war which necessitated amputations on their upper extremities. They are one patient with one forearm amputation, one with an upper arm amputation, and one with upper arm amputation left and exarticulation of the right shoulder joint. - The authors' own experience and observations made by other authors appear to suggest the method to be recommended for handless patients and for those with one upper arm amputation.
