Extremity Amputation

Objective: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of non -traumatic lower extremity amputations in diabetic inperipheral teaching hospital catchment area. Study Design: Prospective, Cross sectional, Interventional. Setting: Surgical Unit II. Aziz BhattiShaheed (Teaching) Hospital. Nawaz Sharif medical College, University of the Gujrat. Study Period: February 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012.Results: A total of 132 patient were subjected to non traumatic lower extremity amputation were enrolled in this study out of which 89 (67.42%)were diabetic, followed by non specific infections n=39 (23.48) Out of 89 total diabetic patients 53 (40.15%) patients were female whereas 36(27.27%) were male. Both major and minor non traumatic lower extremity amputation rate was more in female diabetic patients than malediabetics. Conclusions: The prevalence of non –traumatic below knee amputations at an early age is high in our diabetic patients, especially infemale population. By improving primary health care service regarding foot care awareness in diabetics appears to be the main way to reducethe amputation rate.
