    A multidisciplinary team approach significantly improved amputee rehabilitation for dysvascular diseases. This method led to more below-knee amputations and faster prosthetic fittings, especially in older patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Prosthetics & Orthotics

    Background:

    • Dysvascular diseases are a leading cause of lower limb amputations.
    • Effective amputee rehabilitation is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Traditional rehabilitation models may not be optimal for all amputee populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary team approach in amputee rehabilitation for dysvascular patients.
    • To compare outcomes between a team-based approach and a non-team approach.
    • To identify specific benefits of the team approach in amputee care.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 8 years of patient data.
    • Comparison between a hospital utilizing a multidisciplinary team and a control hospital.

  • Data collection focused on amputation level, prosthetic fitting rates, and patient demographics.

    • Main Results:

    • Hospitals using the team approach had a higher proportion of below-knee amputees.
    • The team approach resulted in a greater number of prosthetic fittings over a shorter period.
    • Older patients in the team approach group received prosthetic fittings more frequently.

    Conclusions:

    • A multidisciplinary team approach enhances amputee rehabilitation for dysvascular diseases.
    • This model facilitates a higher volume of successful prosthetic fittings, particularly for below-knee amputations.
    • The team approach demonstrates improved efficiency and effectiveness, especially in geriatric amputee populations.
