Mortality Rates of Minor vs Major Lower Extremity Amputations in Diabetic Patients.

The findings highlight the critical importance of early intervention, strict glycemic control, and multidisciplinary care to improve the survival and quality of life in diabetic patients undergoing LEA. Limb preservation strategies should be prioritised whenever possible, as minor amputations lead to better long-term outcomes. Future research should focus on refining risk stratification and optimizing rehabilitation programs to enhance patient prognosis post-amputation.
