| interscapulothoracic amputation | Amputation of the arm with removal of the scapula and a portion of the clavicle. Synonym: interscapulothoracic amputation. (05 Mar 2000) |

| intrauterine amputation | Amputation produced in utero; attributed to the pressure of constricting bands (amniotic); autosomal recessive inheritance. Synonym: amniotic amputation, amputation, birth amputation, intrauterine amputation, spontaneous amputation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oblique amputation | Amputation in which the line of section through an extremity is at other than a right angle; this yields an oval appearance to the cut surface (hence sometimes, though rarely, referred to as an oval amputation). (05 Mar 2000) |
| osteoplastic amputation | An amputation, e.g., through the tarsus, in which the cut surface of another bone is brought in apposition with the one primarily divided so that the two unite, thus giving a better stump. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oval amputation | Amputation in which the flaps are obained by oval incisions through the skin and muscle, rarely used term for oblique amputation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tarsotibial amputation | Amputation through the ankle joint. (05 Mar 2000) |

| transverse amputation | Amputation in which the line of section through the extremity is at right angles to the long axis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| traumatic amputation | Amputation resulting from accidental or nonsurgical injury; may be complete or incomplete. (05 Mar 2000) |
