title: Trans-tibial amputation for reflex sympathetic dystrophy: postoperative management.
abstract: This paper describes the experience with a trans-tibial amputation due to reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Because of lack of information about postoperative management in these cases, the medical history is provided together with a description of early mobilisation and technical information about prosthetic equipment.
