Patients become totally dependent on others for survival. In developing countries, where sophisticated myoelectric prosthesis are not available, the Krukenberg procedure gives to these patients elementary self-sufficiency for daily-life. This procedure can be performed in low-resources setting and requires minimal rehabilitation. However, patient selection and preparation are critical because of an unattractive aesthetic aspect which limits this operation use in occidental countries.
