Article Synopsis
- - This systematic review aimed to understand how common chronic pain is among adults with severe lower limb injuries (SLLIs) in both civilian and military settings, finding that about 63% of patients experience chronic pain post-injury.
- - Out of 43 studies involving over 5,600 patients, chronic pain prevalence was similar among amputees (64%) and those who had limb salvage procedures (56%), with higher rates found in civilian populations (70%) compared to military ones (51%).
- - The study highlights that most individuals with SLLIs will likely experience chronic pain, stressing the need for healthcare systems to focus on research and resources aimed at reducing this long-term suffering.
