RESUMEN
Because of insufficient soft-tissue conditions and variability in the size and mechanical friction of the stump treatment of upper leg amputees with an ordinary prosthesis might be difficult or even impossible. Alternatively, for such patients an endo-exo femoral prosthesis (EEFP) is sometimes the best treatment option. The use of EEFPs will be demonstrated as exemplified by the clinical course in a patient with a primary EEFP implantation including all relevant side-effects and associated problems.

Application of liposomal phospholipids (Natipide II) caused a significant decrease in erythema induced by UVB (280-312 mm) in patients with skin types II and III (n = 31). In accordance with findings in other organs, e.g. liver, the present findings suggest that phospholipids are capable of reducing H2O2 formation and/or increasing glutathione synthesis in human skin, thus reducing erythema formation by preventing oxidative stress.
