Lower limb amputation for diabetic foot
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2001We amputated 35 limbs of 27 patients with diabetic foot from March 1988 to March 1998. The mean age of the patients at the time of operation was 67 years, and the mean follow-up period was 27 months. Thirteen patients died in the period from 1 day to 39 months after the operation.

The current epidemiological situation with regard to lower-limb amputations in southern Finland was analysed for the year 1989. Lower-limb amputations were performed on 268 patients. The amputation rate was 22.0 per 100,000 inhabitants, and the mean age of amputees was 70 years. Peripheral vascular disease was the main reason for amputation (79%).
