Amputation With Osseointegration for Patients With Intractable Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A Report of 3 Cases. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • CASES: Three patients with knee-level complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS1), recalcitrant to conservative interventions, elected for transfemoral amputation and osseointegration. Two patients gained independent ambulation; the third remains on crutches after a disrupted sciatic nerve targeted reinnervation. One uses no pain medication, one is weaning off, and one requires a reduced regimen after revision nerve innervation. CONCLUSION: Osseointegration seems suitable to optimize rehabilitation after amputation for CRPS1.
