    Total joint arthroplasties successfully treated patients with amputations. Modified physical therapy and prosthetics allowed patients to return to work.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Rehabilitation medicine

    Background:

    • Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a common procedure for debilitating joint diseases.
    • Limb amputation presents unique challenges for patients requiring joint replacement surgery.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with below-knee amputations underwent total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty, respectively.
    • These procedures were performed on the side of the limb amputation.

    Findings:

    • Both patients experienced successful treatment outcomes with TJA.
    • Minimal modifications to physical therapy were needed compared to standard TJA protocols.
    • Prosthetic adjustments were necessary for both patients.

    Implications:

    • TJA is a viable treatment option for amputees with severe joint disease or fractures.

  • Careful prosthetic management is crucial for functional recovery in this patient population.
  • Successful TJA can significantly improve quality of life and return to work for amputees.
