The decision to attempt limb salvage vs to amputate in a significant traumatic limb injury is based on patient´s best predicted outcome. When amputation cannot be avoided the aim is to provide a pain free limb whilst preserving the soft tissue and limb length. Retrospective study covering 5 years (2011–2016), all the trauma patients requiring lower limb amputation (LLA) included. Demographics, mechanism, type of injury, amputation type, cause and level, theatre trips for stump management were analysed.Background
