This retrospective study regarding prosthetic fitting in geriatric amputees showed that only about 50 per cent of the patients could be fitted with a prosthesis. The time interval from the amputation until the patients walked adequately with the prostheses was very long. This was due to problems with the healing of the stump, as well as insufficiencies in the medical organization. An increased coordination of the care of these patients before and after an amputation would improve the whole course of events. It is suggested that the main responsibility for these patients should be transferred to physicians, specialized in long-term care medicine.
这项关于老年截肢者假肢适配的回顾性研究表明，只有约50%的患者能够适配假肢。从截肢到患者能够使用假肢正常行走的时间间隔非常长。这是由于残端愈合问题以及医疗组织存在不足。加强截肢前后这些患者护理的协调性将改善整个事件进程。建议将对这些患者的主要责任转移给擅长长期护理医学的医生。
