Lower Limb Amputation Care Across the Active Duty Military and Veteran Populations - 23/11/18
Résumé |
Traumatic amputation can result from injuries sustained both within and outside the military setting. Individuals with trauma-related amputations have unique needs and require specialized management with an interdisciplinary team approach and care coordination across the continuum of care to facilitate optimal outcomes. Management considerations include issues with the amputation itself, issues related to injury of other body parts, and the management of longer-term secondary conditions. Some of these issues are more prevalent and of greater severity in the early recovery period, whereas others develop later and have the potential for progressive worsening over time.
