Abstract

The article presents two case reports concerning the treatment of symptomatic arterial disease in the amputated limbs. A certain 51-year-old man, who was fully mobile with a prosthesis in 2001, is noted to have been presented with claudication but denied the pain. On the other hand, a man of the eighties is believed to have presented with continual pain after the knee amputation he received after a road traffic accident in 1994.
