Abstract
Limb amputations for various etiologies are one of the most common causes for disability and resulting social and financial losses at present. Higher the level of amputation more difficult it is to treat the stump and also more delayed is the rehabilitation. Therefore various therapeutic techniques for dressing the amputation stump have been described over the years to aid in fast recovery and to avoid local stump complications. In this case report a similar innovative method of dressing a above knee amputation stump has been described.
