    Abstract

    Introduction: Over 150,000 lower limb amputations every year in the US cost the healthcare system billions due to rising diabetes rates. Clinical state and soft tissue viability determine amputation. Medical optimization and amputation methods are examined. Guillotine, complete, and skin flap patterns are explored for below-knee amputations. Marking an incision, separating nerves and veins, cutting bones, and stabilizing the weight are the procedures. Rehabilitation requires wound care and prosthetic fitting after surgery
