摘要：

Nineteen consecutive patients underwent traumatic upper limb amputation for nonreconstructible or replantible upper limb injury at a Level I trauma center over a 9-year-period. Eleven amputations were at the transradial level, five were transhumeral, and three were shoulder disarticulation. Eighteen patients underwent prosthetic limb fitting. Fifteen of the 18 initially underwent preparatory prosthetic limb fitting within 30 days following amputation with a body-powered, cable-driven prosthesis. Seventeen of the 18 achieved sufficient proficiency with their prostheses to allow them to return to work. Of these, 15 maintained daily functional prosthetic use of at least 8 hours daily at a followup examination of 12 to 110 months. Use of prosthetic limb following traumatic upper limb amputation carries a high probability for functional rehabilitation if limb fitting and prosthetic training are instituted as soon as the residual limb can tolerate the prosthetic socket as opposed to waiting for the residual limb to ''mature''.
