    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Prosthetics and Orthotics

    Background:

    • The Roehampton Limb Surgery Unit has managed vascular amputees since 1975.
    • Vascular amputations present significant challenges in patient mobility and recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the management strategies for vascular amputees at the Roehampton Limb Surgery Unit.
    • To present the outcomes of vascular amputee management over a defined period.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 167 vascular amputee cases managed at the unit.
    • Analysis of patient mobility and functional independence at discharge.

    Main Results:

    • The study analyzed 167 cases of vascular amputees.

  • Among 35 patients over 80 years old, 57% could walk independently upon discharge.

    • Conclusions:

    • Effective management protocols contribute to successful rehabilitation in vascular amputees.
    • Elderly vascular amputees can achieve significant functional independence with appropriate care.
