Ilizarov is an accepted technique for lengthening short amputation stumps to improve prosthetic function and rehabilitation. The relation of stump lengthening and phantom limb pain (PLP) has not been reported in literature. We present here a case report of a transfemoral amputee who had a flare up of PLP following stump lengthening. He responded well to a combination of pharmacological therapy and soft tissue manipulative techniques and desired length was achieved. This report alerts the possibility of aggravation of PLP following stump lengthening and discusses its management.
伊里扎洛夫技术是一种被认可的用于延长短截肢残端以改善假肢功能和康复的技术。残端延长与幻肢痛(PLP)之间的关系在文献中尚未见报道。我们在此呈现一例经股骨截肢患者在残端延长后出现幻肢痛发作的病例报告。他对药物治疗和软组织手法治疗相结合的方法反应良好,并达到了期望的长度。本报告提醒注意残端延长后幻肢痛加重的可能性,并讨论了其处理方法。
