We report a case of a 60-year-old male with bilateral lower limb amputations who sustained a fracture to his right residual femur after weight bearing on his prosthetic leg during therapy. This was at...
Patient was referred for orthopaedic management and reviewed by the multidisciplinary prosthetic rehabilitation team following the fracture recovery....
He was deemed unsuitable for further prosthetic usage and ultimately referred to the national weight management service and the bariatric team....
Fracture of the residual limb in an amputee is not a common occurrence. There is a scarcity of information regarding fractures in an amputation stump of obese individuals. This is an unusual case whic...
Stump hyperhidrosis is a common condition after lower limb amputation. It affects the prosthesis use, and the quality of life of patients. Several case reports tried to prove benefit of using Botulinu...
This study was to conduct a larger workforce clinical trial and to demonstrate benefits of botulinum toxin injection in the treatment of stump hyperhidrosis....
A prospective study was conducted. War amputees who complained of annoying excessive sweating of the stump were included. They received intradermal injection of botulinum toxin A in the residual limb ...
Seventeen male patients, followed for post-traumatic limb amputation were included in the study. Discomfort and bothersome in relation to Hyperhidrosis did decrease after treatment (p<0,001). Reported...
Intradermal injections of botulinum toxin in the symptomatic treatment of stump hyperhidrosis are effective and have few adverse effects. It improves the quality of life of our patients thanks to a be...
The design and fitting of prosthetic sockets can significantly affect the acceptance of an artificial limb by persons with lower limb amputations. Clinical fitting is typically an iterative process, w...
A 7-year-old boy presented with osteosarcoma of the ulna that required a transhumeral amputation. The patient completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery. To prevent bone overgrowth and improved...
In this modified amputation, bone overgrowth was not seen and repeated surgeries for stump shaping were prevented. The modified technique enabled length for the prosthetic elbow and a wide stump for b...
The role of the above-knee socket is to ensure the load transfer via the coupling of residual limb-prosthesis with minimal discomfort and without damaging the soft tissues. Modelling is a potential to...
To study the peculiarities of peroneal stump remodelling after transtibial amputation in the process of prosthesis usage....
A histological study of the ends of the stumps of the fibula in 68 patients was performed. Terms after amputation: 2-8 years....
In the 1st group the stumps with the reparative process completion were formed. In the 2nd group there were sharp disturbances of the reparative process with the formation of the cone-shaped end. In t...
Absence of balloting of the fibula stump and dense overlapping of the medullary cavity by muscles promotes complete remodelling of the fibula remnant with preservation of its organicity. Pathological ...
Up to 70% of limb amputees develop chronic postamputation neuropathic pain (CPANP) which includes phantom pain and residual limb neuropathic pain due to neuroma formation. CPANP often requires invasiv...
Preparing a good amputation stump with a well-padded, stable, sensate, and painless soft tissue coverage is of utmost importance to achieve early ambulation and return the patient to the daily activit...
Healing after an amputation is a critical step in the recovery process. Delayed wound healing can lead to deconditioning and flexion contractures which reduce a patient's ability to use a prosthesis, ...
Authors completed Google Scholar searches to identify the most effective search terms to locate salient publications. Authors also completed literature searches of Ovid MEDLINE and Epub Ahead of Print...
The searches identified 2067 potential articles for review, and after removing articles not relevant to the topic, authors completed full-text assessment on 20 articles. These included review and synt...
Preamputation assessment is most critical in patients who present with a longer list of comorbidities and suboptimal physiologic factors known to predict wound complications. Clinical judgment is most...
Sweating and heat buildup at the skin-liner interface is a major challenge for persons with limb loss. Liners made of heat-non-conducting materials may cause sweating of the residual limb and may resu...
