| Summary: | A previous CADTH Rapid Response report of 2012 assessed removable rigid dressing in comparison to rigid dressing for management of leg amputations. It included one randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 27 patients and reported no statistically significant difference between the two modalities with respect to wound healing or time duration from amputation to prosthetic fitting.
