Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Effective amputation stump management is crucial for patient recovery and prosthetic integration.
  • Postoperative care significantly influences long-term functional outcomes for amputees.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of basic methods for managing amputation stumps.
  • To guide medical staff in optimizing rehabilitation processes for amputees.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on postoperative stump care, including dressings, pain management, and stump shaping.
  • Discussion of rehabilitation strategies such as desensitization, range of motion exercises, and strength training.
  • Emphasis on wound and edema management for prosthetic compatibility.

Main Results:

  • Early and continuous management of the amputation stump is vital for successful rehabilitation.
  • A combination of physical therapies, appropriate dressings, and wound care promotes optimal stump maturation.
  • Proactive management strategies facilitate independent daily living and prosthetic use.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized protocols for amputation stump management are needed from surgery through prosthetic fitting.
  • Optimized stump care enhances patient recovery, functional independence, and prosthetic success.
  • This review offers a foundational guide for healthcare professionals involved in amputee rehabilitation.
