Orthopaedic Trauma and Amputees

Orthopaedic trauma refers to injuries from serious accidents or attacks, causing damage to bones, joints, ligaments, or even limb loss. Many injuries require surgery followed by extensive rehabilitation to restore function.

Amputation is a significant life change, requiring multiple rehabilitation stages. This includes preparing for and learning to use prosthetics when appropriate.

Amputation can also result from medical conditions like diabetes or cancer. The surgical approach depends on the limb, the reason for amputation, and the extent of bone and tissue damage.

Post-amputation, it’s crucial to provide good wound care, stump and pain management, and address phantom limb and sensory issues, which impact rehabilitation and daily life.
