Patient satisfaction after lower limb replantation surgery for traumatic amputation - a qualitative study. The majority of published literature clinically assesses surgical outcomes after lower limb replantation for traumatic amputations. However, patients' satisfaction and quality of life may not be accurately measured through rigid scoring using standardized patient reported outcome measures . The aim of this study was to qualitatively assess patient satisfaction and factors associated with achieving good outcomes after successful lower limb replantation surgery. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 12 patients who underwent lower limb replantation surgery following traumatic amputation injuries. The interview focused on the patients' experience and satisfaction throughout

Development and external validation of a prediction model for digit replantation failure after traumatic amputations based on a prospective multicenter cohort. Failure of digit replantation after traumatic amputation is difficult to predict. We aimed to develop a prognostic model to better identify factors that better predict replantation failure following traumatic digit amputation

Investigation on the relationship between Eysenck personality type and the survival rate of traumatic amputated finger replantation based on preventive psychology. This paper tried to observe the relationship between the personality of patients with different personalities and the survival rate of replantation of traumatic amputated finger, and analyzed the influencing factors. EPQ psychological

Association of Interfacility Transfer and Patient and Hospital Characteristics With Thumb Replantation After Traumatic Amputation. Given that 40% of hand function is achieved with the thumb, replantation of traumatic thumb injuries is associated with substantial quality-of-life benefits. However, fewer replantations are being performed annually in the US, which has been associated with less

Ex vivo limb perfusion for traumatic amputation in military medicine. Limb loss has a drastic impact on a patient's life. Severe trauma to the extremities is common in current military conflicts. Among other aspects, "life before limb" damage control surgery hinders immediate replantation within the short post-traumatic timeframe, which is limited in part by the ischemic time for successful

Disturbing medical findings in war-related traumatic amputation patients: a clinical descriptive study from Gaza. The aim of this study was to explore possible long-term negative health effects of injuries sustained by modern weaponry. The study was conducted in Gaza's main hospital, Al-Shifa Hospital. During the last 10 to 15 years, thousands of civilian Palestinians in Gaza have survived

Mortality prediction following non-traumatic amputation of the lower extremity Patients who undergo lower extremity amputation secondary to the complications of diabetes or peripheral artery disease have poor long-term survival. Providing patients and surgeons with individual-patient, rather than population, survival estimates provides them with important information to make individualized

Does pain, psychological distress and deteriorated family economy follow traumatic amputation among war casualties? A retrospective, cross-sectional study from Gaza. The aim of this study was to explore determinants of psychosocial distress and pain in patients who have survived severe extremity amputation in Gaza. This study was conducted in a secondary care rehabilitation centre in Gaza

Traumatic amputations caused by drone attacks in the local population in Gaza: a retrospective cross-sectional study. Little data exist to describe the use and medical consequences of drone strikes on civilian populations in war and conflict zones. Gaza is a landstrip within the Palestinian territories and the home of 2 million people. The median age in Gaza is 17·2 years and almost half

Impact of prehospital medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) transport time on combat mortality in patients with non-compressible torso injury and traumatic amputations: a retrospective study In combat operations, patients with traumatic injuries require expeditious evacuation to improve survival. Studies have shown that long transport times are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Limited a retrospective review of MEDEVAC patient care records for United States military personnel who sustained traumatic amputations and NCTI during Operation Enduring Freedom between January 2011 and March 2014. We grouped patients as traumatic amputation and NCTI (AMP+NCTI), traumatic amputation only (AMP), and neither AMP nor NCTI (Non-AMP/NCTI). Analysis was performed using chi-squared tests, Fisher's exact

Three-dimensional-printed upper limb prosthesis for a child with traumatic amputation of right wrist: A case report. For traumatic upper limb amputees, the prohibitive cost of a custom-made prosthesis brings an insufferable financial burden for their families in developing countries. Three-dimensional (3D) printing allows for creating affordable, lightweight, customized, and well-fitting

Long-term outcome following upper extremity replantation after major traumatic amputation. Amputations in general and amputations of upper extremities, in particular, have a major impact on patients' lives. There are only a few long-term follow-up reports of patients after macro-replantation. We present our findings in contrast with the existing literature. Sixteen patients with traumatic macro

Use of CytoSorb in Traumatic Amputation of the Forearm and Severe Septic Shock Severe trauma associated with later disability and mortality still constitutes a major health and socioeconomic problem throughout the world. While primary morbidity and mortality are mostly related to initial injuries and early complications, secondary lethality is strongly linked to the development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, and ultimately multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. We herein report on a 49-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital after a traumatic amputation of his right forearm that was cut off while working on a landfill. After initial treatment for shock, he received immediate replantation and was transferred to the ICU. Due to the anticipated risk of a complex

Whole-body Vibration Without Visual Feedback on Postural Steadiness in Unilateral Trans-femoral Traumatic Amputees This study will investigate the effects of Whole-body vibration without visual feedback on postural steadiness in unilateral trans-femoral traumatic amputees. This study will be carried out at the outpatient clinic of the faculty of physical therapy, modern university for technology and relieve osteoporosis in the elderly, and to promote sports injury recovery and improve sports performance. But till now there is no judgment concerning the difference and significance of Whole-body vibration without visual feedback on postural steadiness in unilateral trans-femoral traumatic amputees.

Characteristics of United States Emergency Department Visits for Traumatic Amputations in the Elderly Adult from 2010 to 2013. Elderly adults (65 years of age and older) are of particular concern for traumatic amputations due to age-related changes in vision and coordination, making them more susceptible to injury. The objective of this study is to describe the epidemiology of traumatic amputations in the elderly adults treated in United States emergency departments (ED). A retrospective analysis using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System from 2010 to 2013. People aged 65 years and older treated in U.S. hospital EDs for traumatic amputations from 2010 to 2013. There were 15,611 elderly patients treated for amputations from 2010 to 2013, averaging 3,902 amputations

Effects of Traumatic Amputation on β-Trace Protein and β2-Microglobulin Concentrations in Male Soldiers. Serum creatinine (SCr) levels are decreased following traumatic amputation, leading to the overestimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). β-Trace protein (BTP) and β2-microglobulin (B2M) strongly correlate with measured GFR and have not been studied following amputation. We hypothesized that BTP and B2M would be unaffected by traumatic amputation. We used the Department of Defense Serum Repository to compare pre- and post-traumatic amputation serum BTP and B2M levels in 33 male soldiers, via the N Latex BTP and B2M nephelometric assays (Siemens Diagnostics, Tarrytown, N.Y., USA). Osterkamp estimation using DEXA scan measurements was used to establish percent estimated body weight loss

Patients with multiple traumatic amputations: An analysis of operation enduring freedom joint theatre trauma registry data. Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) are the primary wounding mechanism for casualties in Operation Enduring Freedom. Patients can sustain devastating traumatic amputations, which are unlike injuries seen in the civilian trauma sector. This is a database analysis of the largest patient registry of multiple traumatic amputations. The Joint Theater Trauma Registry was queried for patients with a traumatic amputation from 2009 to 2012. Data obtained included the Injury Severity Score (ISS), Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), blood products, transfer from theatre, and complications including DVT, PE, infection (Acinetobacter and fungal), acute renal failure, and rhabdomyolysis
