For clinicians, referrers and case managers

Relimb welcomes complex referrals from across the UK. We are the first UK-based civilian treatment pathway for osseointegration and TMR, but the service is broader than that: we assess patients whose needs may span amputation-related surgery, nerve pain, prosthetic problems, complex trauma reconstruction and rehabilitation planning.

Relimb is particularly useful when a case does not sit neatly within one specialty, when previous treatment has not resolved the problem, or when coordinated surgical and rehabilitation input may be needed.

When to consider Relimb

Limb loss, prosthetic difficulty and revision questions

Patients with residual limb problems, poor socket tolerance, unresolved pain, questions around osseointegration, or persistent limits in function after amputation.

Neuroma pain, phantom pain and wider reconstructive problems

Cases involving nerve-related pain, TMR or RPNI consideration, revision surgery, soft tissue problems, or complex reconstruction after trauma.

Cases that do not sit neatly in one pathway

Patients where the key difficulty is not only surgical and not only rehabilitative, and where joined-up specialist review may help clarify the most appropriate plan.

Talk through a complex case

If you are unsure whether a patient is suitable, start the conversation early. We can help clarify whether Relimb is likely to be the right fit, what further information would be useful, and what the most appropriate next step may be.
