Abstract:

Objectives Amputation is a major source of morbidity and mortality. Non-traumatic amputations of the upper extremity are less common, and less well-characterized, than the lower extremity. We hypothesize that upper extremity amputations are often associated with multiple returns to the operating room. Methods Twenty-five patients were identified that underwent primary or revision ray or phalangeal amputations for vascular/infectious indications. Chart review was utilized to gather information on additional amputations and demographic information. These groups were compared via chi-squared anal

Abstract:

Background: Contemporary literature reports that the incidence of lower limb amputation has declined in many countries. This impression may be misleading given that many publications only describe the incidence of lower limb amputations above the ankle and fail to include lower limb amputations below the ankle. Objectives: To describe trends in the incidence of different levels of lower limb amputation in Australian hospitals over a 10-year period. Study design: Descriptive.

The authors compare the level of foot amputation by age, prevalence of arterial disease as a precipitating factor, gender, and ethnicity in persons with diabetes mellitus. Medical records were abstracted for each hospitalization for a lower extremity amputation from January 1 to December 31, 1993, in six metropolitan statistical areas in south Texas. Amputation level was defined by ICD-9-CM codes and were categorized as foot, leg, and thigh amputations. Foot-level amputations were further subcategorized as hallux or first ray, middle, fifth, multiple digit or ray, and midfoot amputations. Only

Category: Diabetes, Trauma, Amputation Introduction/Purpose: Transtibial amputations are often necessary when patients experience irreversible tissue damage in their lower extremities. Current amputation methods incorporate either a single-stage amputation with primary wound closure or a two-stage amputation. A two-stage amputation consists of an initial amputation, typically performed at a more distal site, followed by a second more proximal amputation with stump formalization. The reported advantages of two-staged amputations include decreased muscle retraction and the reduced spread of infe

Abstract Introduction Amputation after burn injury may improve survival rates; however, the physical changes and functional impairments resulting from amputation can have long-term consequences. A prior Burn Model System (BMS) national database study found that post-burn amputation among adults was negatively correlated with mental health scores but positively correlated with physical function scores at 6-months post-burn. However, no study has examined long-term outcomes associated with post-burn amputation in the pediatric population. This study investigates longitudinal functional and psych

Background/Aim: Prolonged wound complications and the possibility of reoperations are significant outcomes following minor amputations. As time progresses after the initial surgery, re-amputations become more prevalent. Contrary to prevailing beliefs, the incidence of early amputations remains consistent.

Abstract:

Background: In the United States, ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected by diabetes-related lower extremity amputations (LEA) and have higher associated mortality rates than non-Hispanic Whites. Bexar County, a county in south Texas, had higher diabetes rates than both Texas and the national average. Bexar County also had one of the highest LEA hospital admission rates in the State. Aim: Elucidate diabetes-related LEA factors to assist policy makers and health professionals develop more effective interventions. Results: For participants who had more than one amputation, the time be

Abstract:

Introduction: Not only are early detection and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers important, but also acknowledging potential risk factors for amputation gives clinicians a considerable advantage in preventing amputations. Amputations impact both healthcare services and the physical and mental health of patients. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Methods: The sample for this study was patients with diabetic foot ulcers who were treated by the diabetic foot council at our hospital between 2005 and 2020. A total of 32 risk facto

Abstract:

23 finger amputations in 19 patients operated on for Dupuytren’s disease were reviewed 6 months to 8.5 years after operation (mean 4 years). The distribution of amputations were 17 little fingers and six ring fingers. We found a recurrent lack of extension in nine out of 16 finger amputations distal to the MP joint and painful neuroma or phantom limb pain in five out of seven little finger amputations through or proximal to the MP joint. When amputation in the little finger is necessary, disarticulation of the MP joint may be preferable to amputation at a more distal level. Alternatives to fin

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Medical registries evolved from a basic epidemiological data set to further applications allowing deriving decision making. Revision rates after non-traumatic amputation are high and dramatically impact the following rehabilitation of the amputee. Risk scores for revision surgery after non-traumatic lower limb amputation are still missing. The main objective was to create an amputation registry allowing us to determine risk factors for revision surgery after non-traumatic lower-limb amputation and to develop a score for an early detection and decision-making tool for

However, there is no validated consensus on the method with the most prognostic accuracy. Transcutaneous oxygen perfusion measurement (TcPO2) is a noninvasive means of measuring tissue oxygenation. A TcPO2 > 30-40mm Hg is widely cited as a positive predictor of post-operative wound healing, but its validity has not been well defined. We hypothesized that TcPO2 levels positively correlate with the success of amputation wound healing. Additiona

Although Chopart amputation preserves greater limb length than Syme amputation, additional procedures, such as Achilles tenectomy and tendon transfers are necessary to optimize residual foot function.
