The Below-Knee Amputation: To Amputate or Palliate? [PDF]

Advances in Wound Care, 2013
A below-knee amputation (BKA) can be the most functional option for select patients with a diseased lower extremity and may offer a better quality of life than limb salvage in some patients.Because of advances in prosthetic technology, some patients may have a better quality of life with a BKA than a salvaged lower extremity.
