Surgical revision of the problematic transmetatarsal amputation

BI Rosenblum and DV Freeman
Department of Surgery, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.

Recurrent ulcerations may develop following transmetatarsal amputation in patients with diabetes mellitus. In many cases, these ulcerations require surgical intervention to achieve healing, especially in situations where conservative care has not been effective. These procedures range from the local resection of bone to skin grafting and flap techniques to successfully heal the wound. The ultimate goal of any surgical intervention is to prevent a more proximal amputation.
