Growth patterns of lower limbs in children with a traumatic transtibial amputation: A retrospective observational cohort study of anthropometric data from Cambodia

This paper found that longitudinal residual limb growth is stunted because of growth plate injury and altered mechanics, paving the way for future research on novel rehabilitation interventions. The regression models developed can help prosthetists and prosthetic manufacturers design prostheses that accommodate growth. These data provide compelling evidence and hard data to prosthetists and manufacturers to better provide for children in this specific setting.
