| Popis: | In a ten-year retrospective study of 233 patients who sustained a vascular injury to an extremity, eight (3.4%) extremities were amputated. Factors that affect the incidence of amputation after peripheral vascular trauma include early operation, fasciotomy, preoperative antibiotics, appropriate vascular reconstruction with adequate tissue coverage, use of arteriography during and after reconstruction, and early reoperation for postoperative complications. Some patients benefit psychologically and physically from early definitive amputation. |
