Summary
This study tests whether injecting a person's own skin cells into the residual limb can make the skin firmer and healthier for prosthetic use. Twenty adults with a below-knee amputation will receive either the cell injection or a placebo. The main goals are to check safety and see if the treatment improves skin firmness over three months.
