The correct answer is:
Ablation of the lower extremities (subtrochanteric level or knee disarticulation) plus prosthetic fitting is a treatment option which has been recommended (Russel, 1963; Aiken et al, 1967; Tachdjian, 1990). However, the more recent recommendations include preservation of the limb if there is any sensation.
