Ligament Fibroma-Forearm Amputation

Amputations are divided into small and large amputations. According to the amputation definition of the Jia Chunbao Diabetic Foot Research Institute: Small amputation refers to the removal of infected and necrotic tissues, and refers to the open partial amputation through the partial blood vessel reconstruction or limb correction, and the limited removal of some tissues. A major amputation is a condition that cannot be mitigated by vascular reconstruction, medication control, or small amputations. Large amputations are divided into low amputations and high amputations. Low amputations are usually amputated 10 cm below the knee, while high amputations require amputation from the root of the thigh. According to the clinical report of the Jia Chunbao Diabetes Foot Institute, patients with high amputations have a mortality rate of more than 50% within two years and an 80% mortality rate within 5 years.
