    Author: Ricci E, Murix EL, Giaccone M, Bertero D, Nano M.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1991 Feb; 46(3-4):129-33. PubMed ID: 2034385.
    Abstract:
    The problem relating to leg amputation following ischemia are analysed in the first part of this study, bearing in mind that amputation must be as conservative as possible in order to ensure the best quality of life. Following a short review of the topic and the introduction of recent trends, the case for amputation, which must be early in order to be conservative, is studied. The first part of this article concludes with a discussion of Doppler and clinical evaluations as techniques used to determine the level of amputation.
