Abstract

Prosthetic rehabilitation and prosthetic limb use in patients over 90 years of age have not been studied in detail. This study reports two concurrent successful cases and a review of registered patients aged over 90. Satisfactory outcomes often occur in this population and such patients should be referred for prosthetic rehabilitation, regardless of advanced age.
