Outcomes of minor amputations in patients with peripheral vascular disease over a 10-year period at a tertiary care institution.

Objectives: Choosing an optimal amputation level requires balance between maximizing limb salvage while minimizing chances of non-healing wounds and re-amputation. Our aim was to assess the long-term outcome for minor amputations in patients with peripheral vascular disease.

Methods: A retrospective study of minor amputations between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2015 was performed.
