Long-term results over a period of more than 10 years give evidence of the superiority of the through-knee compared to the above-knee stump. However, failures in through-knee stumps before, during and after operation and pitfalls in prosthetic fitting are still too frequent. They are mostly due to errors because the peculiarities of the stump and the prosthetic management are not recognised. This paper emphasizes frequent causes of failure in the selection of the level of amputation, the operative technique, post-operative treatment and prosthetic rehabilitation in order to reduce the complication rate.

Object The authors report on a series of 10 patients with spontaneous thoracic cord herniation, provide the longterm follow-up, and propose a surgical strategy. Methods All 10 patients had a defect in the ventral dura mater. They were all treated surgically with wide excision of the dura around the defect, repositioning of the cord, and reconstruction with a ventral patch. Five patients were followed up for > 4 years. Results Surgery improved motor power in 4 patients and pain in 2 patients, although sensory disturbances remained unchanged in all but 1 patient. One patient's condition deteriorated secondarily due to edema and syringomyelia. Conclusions Microsurgical treatment may halt the exacerbation of neurological symptoms and should be performed with progressive deficits. Long-term results are good regarding the motor function.
