On June 23, 2015, Koch had the amputation surgery, also performed by Dr. Kodi Azari, which was designed to prep him to receive a transplanted limb.

K43:Bilateral amputation below the elbow, or equivalent loss of function in both upper limbs K44: Unilateral arm amputation (or equivalent loss of function), or loss of toes which impact the ...
A less common major amputation is the Van Nes rotation, or rotationplasty, i.e. the turning around and reattachment of the foot to allow the ankle joint to take over the function of the knee. Types of amputations include: An above-knee amputation partial foot amputation amputation of the lower limb distal to the ankle joint ankle disarticulation
The success of the Krukenberg procedure depends directly on the strength of the pronator teres, the sensibility of the skin surrounding both ulna and radius, elbow mobility, and mobility of the ulna and radius at the proximal radioulnar joint. Individual patient expectations and motivations, although more difficult to assess, probably play a ...

A transradial prosthesis is an artificial limb that replaces an arm missing below the elbow.
