Episode Details

Amputation Levels and Epidemiology. Part of the Prosthetics & Orthotics series of the Reflex PM&R Board Review podcast. Audio correction: In the audio: malignancy... accounting for approximately 5 to 10% of all amputations — Correct: Malignancy causes ~2% of all amputations in large U.S. population data (the ~5-10% figure reflects major-amputation-only denominators, referral/sarcoma centers, or older data; the pediatric share is higher). It remains a minority etiology behind dysvascular and traumatic causes. The written chapter is correct.
