Ulnoradial - metacarpal reconstruction for emergency one-stage procedure in complicated wrist amputation.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
January 2025
The Wuxi No.9 People's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, No. 999 Liangxi Road, Wuxi, 214000, China.
Background: Complicated wrist amputation caused by severe trauma poses a real challenge for orthopedic and hand surgeons. This study aimed to evaluate a procedure of ulnoradial-metacarpal reconstruction as a rescue option in this challenging situation.
Methods: In total, 12 patients with complicated wrist amputation induced by serious injury were selected from 2015 to 2020 and followed up for 1∼6 years at a level 1 trauma center.
Curative and preemptive treatment of amputee pain by targeted muscle reinnervation: experience from a French military trauma center.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic, Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery, Percy Military Hospital, 101 Avenue Henri Barbusse, Clamart, 92140, France.
Introduction: Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a technique that has proven effective for the treatment and prevention of chronic pain following amputation, though its adoption remains limited. The authors report on their initial experience using TMR.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted in a military trauma center involving traumatic amputees treated with either curative or preemptive TMR.
How To Improve Patient Selection in Individuals With Lower Extremity Amputation Using a Bone-anchored Prosthesis.
Clin Orthop Relat Res
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
Background: Many patients with a lower limb socket-suspended prothesis experience socket-related problems, such as pain, chronic skin conditions, and mechanical problems, and as a result, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is often negatively affected. A bone-anchored prosthesis can overcome these problems and improve HRQoL, but these prostheses have potential downsides as well. A valid and reliable tool to assess potential candidates for surgery concerning a favorable risk-benefit ratio between potential complications related to bone-anchored prostheses and improvements in HRQoL is not available yet.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Family Medicine/Supportive Care Center, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Amputation confers disabilities upon patients and is linked to cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality. We aimed to compare the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) between individuals following amputation with those of the general population.
Methods: We performed a population-based retrospective cohort study using the Nationwide Health Insurance Service database.
Application of Orem's self-care model in postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing digit replantation.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Department of Pain, Department of Hand Surgery, Wuhan Fourth Hospital, Wuhan, Hubei, China.
Digit replantation is often caused by sudden trauma, with 75% of amputated patients being low-income, low-education workers, and adding societal pressure. Orem's self-care model emphasizes self-care and may be an optimal nursing model for digit replantation, but its clinical application and research are limited. This study explores Orem's self-care model's impact on digit replantation.
