The physiatrist's chief concern for the child with an amputation secondary to tumor is that of comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation. Problems unique to these children, factors which affect restoration favorably or unfavorably, principles of management, and measures of outcome are described and also illustrated by a case history. A multidisciplinary pediatric amputee clinic is recommended as the optimal setting for a prosthetic rehabilitation program.
