Above Elbow Amputation

Above Elbow Amputation

An Above Elbow (AE) Amputation is an amputation of the upper limb between the elbow and the shoulder. A short amputation (near the shoulder) results in the loss of shoulder rotation; however, with a long amputation (just above the elbow), the patient should retain good shoulder function. Multiple types of terminal devices are available for this amputation level to meet the patient needs.
