Ultrasensitive thermal lens (TL) spectroscopy, where the interplay between conduction and convection is crucial, provides profound insights into molecular behavior. This work focuses on the critical role of molecular convection by using the dual-beam z-scan method and time-resolved TL spectroscopy. We specifically investigated the correlation between the detection iris and the spot size of the pump beam.

This technique involves an intercalary resection, followed by 180° rotation of the distal limb to allow the ankle to function as a knee joint when it is fitted with a modified below-knee prosthesis. Gait analysis and functional outcome studies have reported favorable results with rotationplasty compared with those of above-knee amputation.
