The orthopaedist as prosthetic team leader: getting the best for your patient from the team.
In summary, care of the amputee is an ongoing process, from evaluation and treatment of the initial disease or traumatic event, through fabrication and fitting of the prosthesis, to the amputee's return to as normal a lifestyle as possible. It is a process that has evolved over the years into a distinct approach designed to get the best for the patient from the team.
