Surgical Clinics of North America, 1995
When presented with an ischemic limb with forefoot necrosis of varying amounts, the surgeon often categorizes the need for amputation into toe, ray, transmetatarsal, below-knee, and above-knee. Adherence to this type of algorithm ensures a primary above- or below-knee amputation rate of 10% to 20%. The utility of the more uncommon amputations advocated

The transtibial amputation is one of the most frequently performed major limb amputations in the United States. The long posterior flap technique has become the most frequently recommended technique; however, the surgeon performing amputations needs to be comfortable with the alternative techniques as well.

The development of amputation surgery has closely paralleled progress in combat casualty care. Since the Civil War, care at hospitals close to the front lines has been improved by advances in both medical care (safer anesthesia, antibiotics, and fluid resuscitation) and medical field service (field hospitals and evacuation of the wounded).
