Gouty tenosynovitis with compartment syndrome in the hand: A case report

Abstract

Rehabilitation of lower limb amputation in developing countries is quite challenging. Though there are basic to highly advanced prostheses available in India, the set-up is still facing difficulties in developing countries.
