At the Reconstructive Center for Lost Limbs (RCLL) at OrthoCarolina, patient Diane’s journey exemplifies remarkable recovery. After severe limb loss and chronic pain, she experienced:

  • Cutting-edge surgeries such as targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) and regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI)
  • Virtual reality-based targeted brain rehabilitation to overcome phantom-limb pain

Her outcome underscores RCLL’s mission: restore mobility, reduce pain, and renew independence.

Learn more about the Reconstructive Center for Lost Limbs and take the next step in recovery.
