The Limb Loss and Preservation Registry (LLPR) data demonstrates that lower limb amputee mobility is the same as individuals scheduled to receive a knee replacement.  Importantly, amputees struggle with insurance companies to receive a microprocessor-controlled knee while nearly 800,000 individuals in the US will receive a knee replacement this year likely without having to appeal to their insurance company.  The LLPR has the data to assure that individuals with limb loss receive equitable medical care.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will learn about the initial findings from the Limb Loss and Preservation Registry which was developed to collect, standardize, and report patient outcomes, support evidence- based decision making, enhance health care delivery, establish and disseminate best practices, and make critical data available to hospitals, clinics and individual providers, manufacturers, payers, scientists, clinical researchers, and policy makers.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to engage in meaningful discussions about quality improvement projects that can be supported by the data available through the Limb Loss and Preservation Registry.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to engage in meaningful discussions about the future health policy implications of the data that is available through the Limb Loss and Preservation Registry.
