Abstract:
Ankle disarticulation is a function sparing amputation level used primarily in the treatment of diabetic foot infection and gangrene secondary to peripheral vascular disease. It also has a valuable role in amputation surgery because of trauma, when combined with a dynamic response, or energy-storing, prosthetic foot.
