Background: A variety of postsurgical dressings are used after a below-knee amputation (BKA), but there is no evidence-based guideline on which dressing to use. The purpose of this study was to compare the application of immediate postoperative rigid dressings or soft dressings on the healing times of BKA.
Methods: In this retrospective analysis we compared 151 patients who underwent BKA from 2000 to 2012 at Yale New Haven Hospital.
