Amputees face many challenges associated with residual limbs. Overall, amputees have an increased risk for skin disease occurring at residual limb sites. Although prosthetists and primary care physicians often accomplish routine care, the dermatologist plays a very important role within the multidisciplinary team. Many military dermatologists have unique clinical experience treating amputees, as a portion of their practice consists of providing care to soldiers with traumatic amputations from complex and dramatic blast injuries. Although current therapies and preventative treatments are for the most part successful, future research involving advanced technology is promising.
截肢者面临着许多与残肢相关的挑战。总体而言，截肢者在残肢部位患皮肤病的风险增加。虽然假肢师和初级保健医生通常负责常规护理，但皮肤科医生在多学科团队中发挥着非常重要的作用。许多军队皮肤科医生在治疗截肢者方面有独特的临床经验，因为他们的一部分业务是为因复杂而严重的爆炸伤导致创伤性截肢的士兵提供护理。尽管目前的治疗方法和预防措施大多是成功的，但涉及先进技术的未来研究很有前景。
