title: [Quality assurance in amputation of the lower extremities due to vascular insufficiency].
abstract: In this retrospective study we reviewed the clinical charts for 82 patients who underwent lower limb amputation at our department during 1990 and 1991. Our results are compared with the literature, and different aspects of the treatment are discussed. Subsequently a model for future quality assurance is presented.
