[AMP-L] Poll Results: Most Common Type of Amputations, Memorial Day Weekend

[Wayne Renardson]

via The O&P Edge:

The latest two informal polls conducted by The O&P EDGE, focused on 
what were the most common types of amputations that clinicians 
treated in their patients, along with how our readers were planning 
to spend Memorial Day Weekend.  

In the broadest sense of the term, all amputations could be 
considered traumatic. During our recent poll question we asked 
clinicians to tell us what were the most common types of amputations 
in patients for which they provided care? Of the choices, vascular, 
trauma, cancer, and congenital, clinicians overwhelmingly said they 
saw patients with vascular amputations the most at 85 percent. 
Thirteen percent of those who responded said traumatic. No one said 
cancer or congenital amputations.
