Abstract

Background: Lower limb amputation is the most common type of amputation in veterans. The aim of the study was to assess the orthopedic problems in WAR related bilateral lower limb AMPUTEES.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 335 out of 578 survivors with bilateral lower limb amputation were assessed by three orthopedic surgeons.Results: The mean age was 42.05±6.3 and 97.6% were male. The most common cause of amputation was land mine 89.7% (601 limbs). Both trans-tibia was the most common level of amputation 37.6% (126 people). The length of stump in about half of the survivors was short or tall. The most common orthopedic problems were spasm of stump muscle 42.7% (281 limbs), which was followed by heterotypic ossification 11.55% (76 limbs), neuroma 10.2% (67 limbs), and inflammation 10.1% (67 limbs). About 10.9% of survivors needed stump revision.Conclusion: The study revealed that the prevalence of orthopedic complications among the AMPUTEES was hign. Regular and routine assessment, rehabilitation programs and treatment is necessary for the bilateral lower limb AMPUTEES.
