Abstract

Within a 5-year-period 102 patients over the age of 70 were admitted with atherosclerotic occlusive disease. All patients had rest pain or necrosis. In 12,8% only a primary amputation could be performed. The procedures and results of reconstructive surgery on 89 patients were demonstrated: mortality rate of 11,2%, a secondary amputation rate of 13,5% and improvement of 75,3%. The problems after amputation in the senium are discussed.
