PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Lower extremity amputations (LEAs) are among the most severe complications of diabetes, with approximately 1.5 million procedures performed globally each year. This review explores the impact of social and structural determinants o...
BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) constitute a significant complication among individuals with diabetes and serve as a primary cause of nontraumatic lower-extremity amputation (LEA) within this population. We aimed to develop machine learning (...

BACKGROUND: Lower extremity endovascular revascularization for peripheral artery disease carries nonnegligible perioperative risks; however, outcome prediction tools remain limited. Using machine learning, we developed automated algorithms that predi...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: While MESS has historically influenced limb salvage versus amputation decisions, its universal applicability remains uncertain. With trauma systems expanding and advancements in trauma care, the need for a nuanced understanding of ...

BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and the resulting lower extremity amputation are associated with a poor survival prognosis. The objective of this study is to generate a model for predicting the probability of major amputation in hospitalized pa...
OBJECTIVE: Prediction of amputation wound healing is challenging due to the multifactorial nature of critical limb ischemia and lack of objective assessment tools. Up to one-third of amputations require revision to a more proximal level within 1 year...

BACKGROUND: Thirty years after the Mangled Extremity Severity Score was developed, advances in vascular, trauma, and orthopaedic surgery have rendered the sensitivity of this score obsolete. A significant number of patients receive amputation during ...
Hand loss is a catastrophic event that generates significant demands for orthopedics and prosthetics. In the course of history, prostheses evolved from passive esthetic replacements to sophisticated robotic hands. Yet, their actuation and particularl...
