Abstract
- Results of lower limb amputation in the Tayside Region in the years 1981-1985 have been analysed. Three-hundred and twenty-four amputations were performed on three-hundred and eight patients. Two-hundred and thirty-six amputations were attempted at the below-knee level. Only 19 required proximal revision. Prior to amputation, all patients should have a detailed vascular assessment, and the operation should be performed by experienced amputation surgeons using meticulous technique.
