Transmetatarsal amputation. A literature review and case study

T Lynch and IO Kanat
Kern Hospital, Warren, MI 48091.

The effect of diabetes on the lower extremity can be devastating. Surgical intervention on the diabetic foot must be carefully planned, and long-term results must be anticipated. The authors present a case history of a patient with multiple previous amputations of the forefoot, resulting in a severe deformity and a nonfunctional foot. Transmetatarsal amputation, if performed correctly, should provide a relatively functional extremity.
