“…The results show a decline in the scores of all measurements at 3 and 6 months, and this situation is not only related to the trauma, but also with the surgical management, rehabilitation, complications, and mental health of patients evaluated 12,[22][23][24] . Although no differences in the quality of life were found among subjects that were referred to rehabilitation and those who were not, the sample size was too small to draw definitive conclusions.…”

Objective: To measure the score and variation in the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire at 3 and 6 months of evaluation in military personnel with a history of chest trauma in combat. Method: Comparative study between military with chest trauma and healthy military personnel from 2011 to 2016, evaluating the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. Results: 45 subjects were analyzed, 25 with a history of chest trauma and 10 healthy controls with combat experience. 25 of the cases were evaluated at 3 months and 11 at 6 months. The average age was 28.2 years (standard deviation: 7.22), and 76% had projectile wounds with a high-speed firearm. 44 % (11/25) of the subjects with chest trauma at three months of assessment presented a lot of limitation for the performance of moderate activities (p < 0.001) and only 5% (1/20) of the controls reported a lot of limitation (p < 0.001). Conclusions: There is significant deterioration in the quality of life in all domains through the SF-36 questionnaire in patients with chest trauma at 3 and 6 months after the evaluation.

“…Lower limb amputation is a significant event in an individual"s life and remains a major problem worldwide. Universally, 200e500million amputations are performed yearly (Nizamli, 2020). According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2013 "Egypt is among 10 top countries with the highest prevalence of diabetes, and up to 15% patients will develop foot complication like amputation in their lifetime" (Salama & Zorin , 2018).…”

Background: Amputation brings a drastic change in a person"s life. This change has an effect on health needs of the individual due to the physical activities limitations. It also affects the individual's psychosocial and economic states. Aim: Assess health needs of patients with lower limb amputation in postoperative period Subjects and Method: Design a descriptive research design was used. Setting: The study was conducted in vascular, surgical and the isolation department for patients with diabetic foot in Mansoura university hospital and surgical ward in Al Salam Hospital in Port Said city. Subjects: purposive sample used in this study. Lower limp amputation patients 100 participated in the study Tools: Data were collected using two tools, patients' knowledge questionnaire and health needs questionnaire of lower limp amputation patients. Results: Results revealed that 67% studied patients had unsatisfied knowledge regarding wound care after discharge, 81% had unsatisfied knowledge regarding exercises and assistive devices used during movement. Patients had unsatisfied total measures regarding decrease pain and prevent muscle contracture (87%, 73%) respectively. Most need reported by patient"s physical, psychological and social (83%, 80%, 85) respectively. Conclusion: The current study concluded that patients need knowledge regarding wound care after discharge and exercises, assistive devices used during movement and most of the study patients need support including: physical, psychological, and social needs. Recommendation: Continuous educational programs to improve patients' knowledge, measures and assess needs regarding to care for patients with lower limb amputation.

“…The methods, techniques and results of transtibial amputations are well described in the available literature, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] as well as the effect of local, due to neuroma, and phantom pain syndrome on the quality of life of patients. 8,9 Emphasis is placed on the excessive mobility of the residual fibula, its valgus deviation, pain syndrome on the outer surface of the residual limb, and difficulties or impossibility of prosthesis. These works did not reflect the issues of anatomical state of the remnant of this bone and reparative and restructuring processes occurring after amputation.…”

To study the peculiarities of peroneal stump remodelling after transtibial amputation in the process of prosthesis usage. Material and Methods: A histological study of the ends of the stumps of the fibula in 68 patients was performed. Terms after amputation: 2-8 years. Results: In the 1st group the stumps with the reparative process completion were formed. In the 2nd group there were sharp disturbances of the reparative process with the formation of the cone-shaped end. In the 3rd group there was a pronounced periosteal bone formation with changes in the shape and structure of bone tissue and incompleteness of the reparative process. Conclusion: Absence of balloting of the fibula stump and dense overlapping of the medullary cavity by muscles promotes complete remodelling of the fibula remnant with preservation of its organicity. Pathological remodelling of the fibula stump occurs due to its hypermobility, repeated traumatisation of the forming regenerate, neuritis of the peroneal nerve, osteogenesis disorders and structural and functional mismatch of the bone tissue to the loading conditions in the prosthesis. Morphological signs of pathological remodelling are the lack of completion of reparative regeneration, intensive bone tissue remodelling lasting for years with pronounced resorption and appearance of immature bone structures, fractures of the cortical diaphyseal layer, residual limb deformities with formation of a functional regenerates, narrowing and closure of the medullary canal with conglomerate with soft tissue inclusions. The anatomical inferiority of bone tissue formed in the process of remodelling of the fibula remnant creates a threat of stress fracture.
