Pediatric major lower limb absence: demographics of children accessing 3 prosthetic rehabilitation centers in Cambodia
Traumatic amputation was the most common, with more males and transfemoral children presenting with trauma than expected, necessitating further research into policies to reduce traumatic amputation and its subsequent proximal amputations. Time to first access was greater for congenital deficiencies necessitating future work to support early prosthetic use. The dataset provides clarity on a unique cohort requiring ongoing prosthetic care.
