In this exclusive with Medical Dialogues, Dr. Yakshi Chugh discusses an original article exploring the social consequences of traumatic lower limb amputation. Published in the Indian Journal of Palliative Care, the qualitative study used in-depth interviews with 16 amputees at a tertiary hospital in North India. Key themes identified included perceived social isolation, the importance of support systems, and the role of spirituality in coping and recovery. The findings underscore the value of family-centered care, timely counselling, and spiritual support in the holistic rehabilitation of amputees. This journal is published by Scientific Scholar.
