VA tests new amputation method to help veterans walk again
NCT ID NCT05437562
Summary
This study is comparing a newer surgical technique called Ewing Amputation to the standard method for Veterans needing a below-knee amputation due to poor circulation. The goal is to see if the newer technique helps Veterans walk better, improves their balance, and reduces pain after surgery. About 120 Veterans will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two amputation procedures and followed for five years.
