Today's "DON"T CROSS THE STREAMS" combines amputation fetishes with civil war reenactment!
You can get started by doing some research over at sonofthesouth.net, where they have real civil war era doctors notes on how to remove that hideous limb.
Having made a circular division of the integuments, the next object is, to preserve skin enough to cover the front of the tibia, and the part of the stump corresponding to the situation of the tibialis anticus, extensor longus pollicis, and other muscles, between the tibia and fibula, including those covering the latter bone. Throughout this extent, there are no bulky muscles which can be made very serviceable in covering the end of the stump, and consequently the operator must here have sufficient skin, by dissecting it up, and turning it backwards.
You can find Civil War era surgical like this guy did for under $60, but make sure they're not fake. I've been burned too many times while buying antique medical equipment to not warn the less experienced.
