N2  - Ninety-two acute combat amputations were performed in 70 casualities of the Vietnam conflict. In the 67 surviving patients with 83 stumps, primary closure was done in 24 limbs (30%) and delayed closure in 11 more. Closed cases were observed 2 weeks and no failures noted. In selected patients early suture of war amputations can be practiced with a satisfactory result.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
