Re: greetings from doc krukenberg
The Krukenerg procedure dates back to 1940's when many war veterans returned without hands.
His innovative procedure was a great advance for improving function.
It may look unusual, but remember that it has much better function and sensations than hooks.
It is particularly useful if the person is also blind, because they retain good touch sensations.

Re: greetings from doc krukenberg
Hi everyone,
I am so pleased to find this thread. I am a UK medical student with a strong interest in the Krukenberg procedure. It looks like it would offer good functional benefits, although I can appreciate the appearance may be a downside for a lot of people. Although, it is possible to wear a cosmetic and/or functional prosthesis over the Krukenberg arm to counteract the appearance if it is a concern.
I'd be really interested to hear from anyone with experience of hand amputation about their feelings about the Krukenberg procedure. There are lots of papers that look at the functional benefits of the procedure, but there's currently nothing published (in English) that looks at the patient's perception of the Krukenberg arm. If the functional benefits are good, that means that the procedure isn't offered to patients because surgeons don't think it looks very nice. I'm of the opinion, that as long as the benefits outweigh the risks, it should really be a patient decision as much as possible. One of the only ways to change things in healthcare is to do research and I'm hoping to do a small study where I speak to people with experience of hand amputation about their perspective on the Krukenberg arm. I have made a Google Form here where you can send me your email address if you'd be willing to be contacted in regard to this. https://forms.gle/XaoZnjHihEnhMRZAA
You may also be interested to learn that the procedure has demonstrated good results in children. They quickly adapt to the changes and often discard any additional prosthesis in favour of their Krukenberg arm.
