DICLASTIC AMPUTATION Meaning and Definition

1. Diclastic amputation is a medical term used to describe a type of amputation characterized by the separation or division of a body part or limb through the process of avulsion. It involves the tearing or ripping away of the affected body part instead of its complete removal through surgical means.

   This form of amputation typically occurs as a result of severe trauma, such as industrial accidents, motor vehicle collisions, or crush injuries. Diclastic amputations are often associated with high-energy accidents that cause significant damage to the involved body part or limb, rendering traditional surgical techniques inadequate or impractical.

   The process of diclastic amputation involves the forceful pulling or traction of the damaged body part, causing its detachment from the remaining tissue and structures. This may result in irregular or jagged edges at the amputation site, as well as significant tissue damage and bleeding. Due to the inherent nature of diclastic amputations, they often require more complex surgical interventions to halt bleeding, repair damaged tissue, and subsequently facilitate proper wound healing or provide prosthetic fitting if applicable.

   Overall, diclastic amputation represents a traumatic event resulting in the separation of a body part or limb, differing from conventional surgical amputations. Understanding this terminology is essential for medical professionals involved in trauma care, as well as for individuals affected by such injuries, in order to accurately discuss and address the intricacies and unique challenges associated with diclastic amputations.

2. One performed without the knife or saw, the bone being broken and the soft tissues bitten off with an ecraseur.
