Once lower-extremity amputees become accustomed to wearing an artificial limb, they want to continue using it. Of considerable concern to the dermatologist, prosthetist, and the entire clinical team is prevention of any disorder that might return such patients to crutches or bed rest. The importance of early recognition and treatment of skin lesions on the stump of amputees cannot be overemphasized. Heavy demands are placed on the stump skin by the artificial limb. Even a minor skin eruption may, through neglect or mistreatment, become an extensive disorder that will seriously threaten the amputee's mental, social, and economic rehabilitation.
一旦下肢截肢者习惯了佩戴假肢，他们就会希望继续使用它。对于皮肤科医生、假肢矫形师以及整个临床团队来说，预防任何可能导致此类患者重新使用拐杖或卧床休息的疾病是至关重要的。截肢者残肢上皮肤病变的早期识别和治疗的重要性无论如何强调都不为过。假肢对残肢皮肤有很大的要求。即使是轻微的皮肤疹，如果被忽视或处理不当，也可能演变成一种广泛的疾病，严重威胁截肢者的心理、社会和经济康复。
