Predictive Factors and Amputation Level for Reamputation in Patients with Diabetic Foot: A Retrospective Case-Control Study

The aim of this study was to assess the rate and level of reamputation in patients who had a previous amputation from diabetic foot. We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent amputation and reamputation due to diabetic foot in our clinic between 2011 and 2019. 59 were evaluated as the healed group after the first amputation and 55 were evaluated as the reamputation group. Given 55 patients who needed reamputation: there were 13 finger or ray, 23 transmetatarsal (TMM) or Syme, 18 transtibial, and 1 transfemoral in the first operation.
