Study Summary

This study is a clinical trial testing the safety and efficacy of volar fibroblast (skin cells from the palm or sole) injections for thickening the epidermal (skin) layer at the stump site in people with below the knee amputations. The study will enroll adults seen at Johns Hopkins.

Primary Outcome

To determine the safety of the use of autologous volar fibroblasts to reprogram non-volar to volar-like epidermis with larger cytoplasmic area in human participants. The investigators will measure the numbers of hospitalizations which are related to the study. The occurrence of any study related hospitalization will be counted as one.
