Decrease in phantom limb pain associated with prosthesis-induced increased use of an amputation stump in humans.

The experience of phantom limb pain, non-painful phantom limb sensation and telescoping was ascertained by questionnaire in a group of upper extremity amputees wearing a functionally effective Sauerbruch prosthesis which permits extensive use of the affected limb and in a group of patients wearing a cosmetic prosthesis that did little to increase the utilization of the amputation stump. The Sauerbruch prosthesis group exhibited a significant and large decrease in amount of phantom limb pain while the cosmetic prosthesis group showed no change. Neither group experienced a decrease in non-painful phantom limb sensation or telescoping. The amount of phantom limb pain has been found to be highly correlated with the amount of injury-related, afferent-decrease cortical reorganization. It is possible that the increased use of the amputation stump induced by wearing a Sauerbruch prosthesis produced a countervailing use-dependent, afferent-increase type of cortical reorganization that reversed the phantom limb pain. These preliminary results require replication. Their therapeutic implications are discussed.

Salvage of a below knee amputation stump with a free sensate total sole flap preserving continuity of the posterior tibial nerve.

We illustrate the use of a free sole flap with intact posterior tibial nerve in the coverage of a below knee amputation 6 months after an explosive injury to a 12-year-old child. We discuss the indications for lower leg amputation in children, modalities of reconstruction of the amputation stump and possible reason for the observed change of colour of the flap persisting for 14 days.

Parascapular fasciocutaneous flap for covering an above-elbow amputation stump.

The successful use of a parascapular fasciocutaneous flap to cover an above-elbow amputation stump with exposed bone is described. Better stability of the stump to pressure (or manipulations), a relatively early one-stage surgical procedure and diminished possibility of later contracture leads to a better long-term outcome.
