STUMP REVISIONS IN LOWER LIMB AMPUTEES – WHY, WHEN AND HOW ?
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Stump revisions are sometimes unavoidable additional surgical procedures performed on amputation stumps. Factors like indication for primary amputation, persistent infections, poor prosthetic fitting, chronic pain due to neuromas and bony prominences contribute to stump revisions. To some extent, they can be avoided by taking meticulous care during primary amputation. Knowledge about the why, when and how of stump revisions will help the primary surgeon take necessary steps in trying to reduce possible complications which result in these additional surgical procedures for amputees.
