Abstract

Definitive amputation for foot ischemia secondary to arteriosclerosis with or without diabetes, should always be considered an important first step in the process of rehabilitation. If the patient can have a below-knee amputation, the end product is a great deal more satisfactory than if the patient has an above-knee amputation. Ultimate ambulatory status can be achieved only by preserving both knee joints.
