By artificial embolization before extensive septic amputation arrosion bleedings that are otherwise noncontrollable can be prevented. Resorbable gelatine (Gelforam) is suitable for embolization. For safety one can leave a balloon catheter above the embolized vessel segment for several days.
Based on our experimental results with the Bader tendon prosthesis, encouraging results for alloplastic tendon replacement were obtained. However a general recommendation for its clinical use cannot be given. Over a period of 4-6 weeks of immobilization healing of the artificial tendon with inflammation could be observed. In the biopsies we found the equivalent of connective tissue attachment between vital tissue and the alloplastic material. We could not clarify whether this connection would endure strain. The pronounced adhesions between the anstomosis and surrounding tissue make later function questionable.
