“When a patient shows up in your office with a less-than-ideal residual limb, it can be a pivotal moment. Do you try to work around what they have, or do you contact the surgeon and initiate a discussion? This patient is going to have to live with the limitations of their residual limb for the rest of their life. Now is the time to discuss optimizing the residual limb so that they have the best opportunity for a successful prosthetic outcome.”
