Abstract
Acquired limb loss, whether from accident or amputation, occurs with an incidence of greater than 175,000 per year in the United States. Current prevalence is estimated at greater than 1.5 million and is expected to double within 30 years. While many patients with amputations may have no significant pain or sensory issues after healing from the initial loss, one-quarter to one-half of patients may have ongoing difficulties with residual limb pain, phantom limb pain, or phantom limb sensation. This review explores the potential etiologies of those symptoms, as well as a variety of treatment options that a practitioner may consider when approaching this condition.
