N2  - A retrospective study of 260 industrial amputees was undertaken to determine the long-term functional results of partial foot amputations following trauma. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 68 years with a mean of 16 years. Of 113 partial foot amputees (118 amputations) who had retained their original amputation, the functional end-results were 43% good, 38% fair and 19% poor. Lisfranc and Chopart amputations were better than those at transmetatarsal or digital levels. Of 260 initial amputations 49 (19%) were revised to a Syme's or a below-knee amputation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
