Post-Amputation Stump Infection as a Predictor of Persistent Residual Limb Pain: A Prospective Cohort Study

150 participantsStarted 2026-02-23

Plain-language summary

Persistent residual limb pain is common after traumatic amputation and significantly impairs rehabilitation and prosthetic use. Postoperative stump infection may contribute to peripheral nerve sensitization, scar fibrosis, and long-term pain persistence. This prospective cohort study aims to determine whether early post-amputation stump infection independently predicts persistent clinically significant residual limb pain at 3 and 6 months after surgery.
