In 2005 there were an estimated 1.6 million individuals in the United States
living with limb loss. This number has been projected to more than double by 2050
to 3.6 million, making an understanding of management of the individual with
amputation essential for the physiatrist. This article highlights common
complications following amputation and discusses the approach to evaluation,
treatment, and developing management strategies to ensure optimal functional
outcomes for this population of patients.
