Review Question - QID 8184

Figures 48a and 48b are the initial radiograph and clinical photograph of a 21-year-old woman who sustained a severe mangling injury to her left foot in a rollover ATV crash. After multiple dTbridements, she underwent definitive transmetatarsal amputation with split-thickness skin graft. She did have intact plantar sensation. Figure 48c shows the clinical photograph 10 days after amputation. Her wounds healed without infection and she did not require further surgery. At 2 years after injury, which of these factors is most likely to be associated with improved level of satisfaction?
