The Effect of Knee Flexion Contracture on Patient Reported Outcome Measures after Distal Femur Fractures (OTA/AO Type 33):A Multi-Center Prospective Evaluation Open
OBJECTIVES: · To determine if patients with knee flexion contracture after distal femur fracture have poorer outcomes than patients who regain full knee extension. · To determine if factors such as patient age, gender, open fracture or imp…

Comparing Temporospatial Performance During Brisk and Self-Paced Walking by Men With Osteomyoplastic Transfemoral Amputation and Controls Using Pressure and Muscle Activation Peak Times Open
Background The aim of osteomyoplastic transfemoral amputation (OTFA) is to produce sustained, robust prosthetic gait performance by residuum reconstructing. A better understanding of residuum-socket interface pressures (RSI) and residuum m…

Benchmarking Residual Limb Pain and Phantom Limb Pain in Amputees through a Patient-reported Outcomes Survey Open
Background: More than 75% of major limb amputees experience chronic pain; however, data on severity and experience of pain are inconsistent. Without a benchmark using quantitative patient-reported outcomes, it is difficult to critically as…

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation Improves Residual Limb Pain, Phantom Limb Pain, and Limb Function: A Prospective Study of 33 Major Limb Amputees Open
Background Targeted muscle reinnervation is an emerging surgical technique to treat neuroma pain whereby sensory and mixed motor nerves are transferred to nearby redundant motor nerve branches. In a recent randomized controlled trial, targ…

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation Treats Neuroma and Phantom Pain in Major Limb Amputees Open
Objective: To compare targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) to “standard treatment” of neuroma excision and burying into muscle for postamputation pain. Summary Background Data: To date, no intervention is consistently effective for neuroma-…

Abstract: Targeted Muscle Reinnervation Successfully Treats Neuroma Pain and Phantoms in Major Limb Amputees: A Randomized Clinical Trial Open
BACKGROUND: A majority of amputees suffer from pain isolated to the residual limb or pain perceived in the missing limb, known as phantom limb pain. End-neuromas are the leading cause of residual limb pain while the etiology of phantom lim…

Abstract: Targeted Muscle Reinnervation at the Time of Major Limb Amputation Prevents Phantom Limb and Residual Limb Pain Open
BACKGROUND: Upwards of 75% of major limb amputees suffer from chronic pain, either isolated to the residual limb stump or perceived in the missing limb, known as phantom limb pain. At present time, there are no reliable and reproducible tr…
