Complications following midfoot amputation in neuropathic and dysvascular feet

R Sage, MS Pinzur, R Cronin, HF Preuss and H Osterman

A review of 64 midfoot amputations performed between 1980 and 1985 revealed that complications occurred in 42% of the series. These included early wound dehiscence and late re-ulceration after the patient began walking again. By providing aggressive management and appropriate local revisions, 84% of the original group's limbs were salvaged at a functionally significant level. These findings underscore the fact that midfoot amputation requires diligent immediate and long-term follow-up if an acceptable success rate is to be achieved.
