Spanish term

infracondílea

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) surgery
Taken from a letter to a Spanish medical journal, describing the case of a woman suffering phantom limb pain. When describing the amputation, it states:

"se decide amputación infracondílea de EID".

I think it refers to the protuberance at the ankle, but have not found the correct term in English

below-knee amputation (BKA)

Actually, "amputación infracondílea" refers to the femoral condyles, so, below the knee joint.
