Rarest?

How are hemipelvectomies the rarest lower extremity amputations? Hemicorporectomies are rarer. --Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 22:07, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Photo issue

The photo of the surgery on this page is not particularly informative and is potentially disturbing. Would be better to show a photo of a healed amputation. 128.175.4.196 (talk) 18:32, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Wikipedia policy at Help:Options to hide an image suggests the image should stay, but I agree it's not the first thing a person should see when discovering for the first time what a hemipelvectomy is.

Since nobody has responded either way to your message in seven years I'm going to remove the picture. Do shout if anyone disagrees, and maybe we can at least move it further down the page or otherwise make it less prominent. Edbrims (talk) 10:12, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
