We report a case of local compression-induced transient femoral nerve palsy in a 46-year-old man. He had previously undergone surgical release of the soft tissues anterior to both hip joints because of contractures following spinal injury. An MRI scan confirmed a synovial cyst originating from the left hip joint, lying adjacent to the femoral nerve. The cyst expanded on standing, causing a transient femoral nerve palsy. The symptoms resolved after excision of the cyst.

Disarticulation has been carried out in ten ankles in nine patients in whom it was not possible to use a heel flap. Four patients were able to walk with a prosthesis which gave satisfactory function. In five who were bedridden, healing was achieved and was of sufficient quality to allow transfers. There was no operative morbidity or mortality.

This technique can be used instead of a transtibial amputation if necrosis or ischaemia of the heel is a contraindication to conventional Syme’s amputation.
