Abstract
Life does not end after a major lower extremity amputation. With advances in surgical technique and in sophistication and capabilities of prosthetics, patients should be reasonably expected to return to most of their pre-amputation physical capabilities. This article highlights management and operative principles that will optimize patients' physical function and quality of life following a major lower extremity amputation.
