title: [Some aspects of the rehabilitation and social reinstatement of the amputee].
abstract: The problem of the re-education and reinstatement of the amputee is considered. Reference is made to various aspects of cases occurring on account of congenital or acquired abnormalities in children and of those involving the aged. A more detailed account is given of various aspects of amputation carried out in subjects whose capacity for work is otherwise unimpaired. Emphasis is laid on the need for selective evaluation via the collaboration of both medical and paramedical personnel in every attempt to achieve satisfactory social and occupational reinstatement.
