The primary initial effort in every case of disease or injury should be to save the extremity. Amputation is seldom necessary following bone and joint injuries. More often, it is an admission of defeat in the medical management of the patient with vascular disease. In such cases, it should be performed only as a last resort. The longest possible lever arm, consistent with primary healing, should be maintained for maximum proprioceptive and kinesthetic feedback and thus rehabilitation potential.
