Predictors for Amputation in Patients with Diabetic Foot Wound
Vascular Specialist International, 2018 Purpose: Diabetic foot wound (DFW) is known as a major contributor of nontraumatic lower extremity amputation. We aimed to evaluate overall amputation rates and risk factors for amputation in patients with DFW. Materials and Methods: From January 2014

Transtibial limb loss does not increase metabolic cost in three-dimensional computer simulations of human walking [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Loss of a lower limb below the knee, i.e., transtibial limb loss, and subsequently walking with a prosthesis, is generally thought to increase the metabolic cost of walking vs. able-bodied controls.

Retrospective characterization of a rat model of volumetric muscle loss
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022 Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is a pervasive injury within contemporary combat and a primary driver of disability among injured Service members. As such, VML has been a topic of investigation over the past decade as the field has sought to understand the ...

Epidemiology and Risk of Amputation in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus and Peripheral Artery Disease
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2020 Peripheral artery disease (PAD) stems from atherosclerosis of lower extremity arteries with resultant arterial narrowing or occlusion. The most severe form of PAD is termed chronic limb-threatening ischemia and carries a significant risk of limb loss and
