Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Owing to the lack of trained professionals in amputee care, the pediatrician is often required to assist in the care of children with limb deficiencies. An overview of the causes and epidemiology of limb deficiency is provided, as well as an evaluation and diagnostic workup. Important considerations for surgical interventions are discussed and an introduction to prosthetic prescribing and care of the amputee is described. Common overuse syndromes and mental health issues are also reviewed. Finally, resources for funding of prosthetic devices, as well as support and education for clinicians and families are provided.
