Updates on Residual Limb Management in Lower Extremity Amputation From Nerve to Bone
Abstract:
Traumatic extremity amputation can be devastating for patients' functional and psychological health. Challenges of initial management and considerations for limb salvage versus amputation for mangled lower extremities are well documented. However, literature geared toward orthopedic surgeons highlighting management considerations for the residual limb of an amputation is scarce. This article reviews recent literature on management of the residual limb in the perioperative and rehabilitation phases of treatment.
