It is the responsibility of all who are caring for that person to get him back in the society as soon as possible. Therefore social integration of such a patient is an integral part of total care of an amputee. Amputation surgeryis one of the components of total management. It is the responsibility of the surgeon to produce such an organ of locomotion so that the patient can be fitted with a suitable prosthesis and rehabilitation is speedy.
