Interactive session on amputations
Join us for an interactive session on amputations – looking at surgical technique, rehabilitation, prosthetics and advances in osseointegration implants. It is estimated that there are over 50,000 people in the UK living with amputations and whilst the primary indication is usually for vascular disease, there are a number of orthopaedic indications including trauma, infection, congenital deformity and tumour.
Unlike the vascular population, orthopaedic patients are often a younger patient population who have many years ahead of them thus by perfecting surgical technique together with optimising rehabilitation we can achieve better long term outcomes.
