Abstract
Summary Previously healthy young patients having survived after multiple severe musculoskeletal injuries and undergone trauma-related amputation of lower limb have a long life expectancy. This case shows the role of multidisciplinary approach in severely injured polytrauma patient managed by traumatologists-orthopaedists, anesthetists-resuscitators, radiologists, general surgeons, microsurgeons, thoracic surgeons, urologists, neurologists, physical therapy rehabilitators, physiotherapists, technical orthopaedists, prosthetists. Majeed score demonstrates ability to perform work and to walk. Amputation affects the quality of life with a certain negative somatic and functional impact. Microprocessor controlled knee joint in patients after transfemoral amputation allows more precise adjustment of knee resistance, providing an increased walking velocity, reduction in stumble and falls, however the final outcome depends also on patients’ own motivation and readiness to regain previous quality of life.
