Abstract
A guillotine transtibial amputation (TTA) is the traditional primary staged amputation for source control in the setting of non-salvageable lower extremity infection, trauma or avascularity prior to progression to proximal amputation. The primary aim of the study is to compare preoperative risk factors and postoperative outcomes between patients that underwent transtibial amputation versus ankle disarticulation (AD) in staged amputations. The secondary aim was to compare outcomes in patients who underwent staged above the knee amputation (AKA) or knee disarticulations (KD).
