Abstract

Amputation may take a psychological toll on a patient. Proper documentation is paramount along with a lucid informed consent. Various pathologies may lead to an amputation. Tools to aid in the decision to amputate, in choosing the levels of amputation, and in the selection of the type of procedure are available. The key to any amputation is to be at a level that is most definitive.
