Outcomes of Ertl Osteomyoplasty Transtibial Amputation With Primary Targeted Muscle Reinnervation and Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface
This case series highlighted the value of this more technically complex procedure, which, despite increased operative time and learning curve, is associated with reduced postoperative pain, enhanced limb stability, and improved psychosocial outcomes. These findings support continued adoption and underscore the need for future comparative studies to establish superiority over traditional techniques.
