: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are known to be predisposed to many complications in the lower extremities such as neuropathy, peripheral artery disease (PAD) and infection. Diabetic foot ulcers are complications of diabetes that can lead to lower extremity amputations, re-amputations and high mortality rates.: The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors associated with higher re-amputation rates in diabetic foot disease.

Background: Patients with diabetes and peripheral arterial disease are at increased risk of minor amputation. The aim of study was to assess the rate of re-amputations and death after an initial minor amputation, and to identify associated risk factors.
Methods: Data on all patients aged 40 years and over with diabetes and/or peripheral arterial disease, who underwent minor amputation between January 2014 and December 2018, were extracted from Hospital Episode Statistics.
Introduction: From January 2013, we changed the surgical strategy in our department and ceased to perform the through-knee amputation (TKA). The primary aim of this study was to investigate re-amputation rates ≤ 90 days after non-traumatic major lower-extremity amputations performed before and after this change of practice. Furthermore, we reported mortality before and after the change of practice.

The authors present their results of the treatment of diabetic foot critical ischemia by means of surgical revascularisation together with minor amputation or debridement. They discuss the causes of higher amputations and re-amputations in revascularised ischemic diabetic lower limbs and presents patency rates in different types of peripheral arterial bypasses. The authors evaluated 81 diabetic feet with chronic critical ischemia, where they performed 50 arterial bypass procedures in the 50 limbs (13 femoropopliteal, 13 femorodistal, 19 pedal bypasses and 5 aorto/ilicofemoral or extraanatomical bypasses).
