摘要

The results of the examination and treatment of 54 patients for 2015 - 2019 were analyzed with diabetic gangrene of the lower extremities, who received inpatient treatment with limb amputation at the level of the upper third of the leg. Analysis of the results of treatment of patients with diabetic gangrene of the limb showed that with the correct determination of the level of amputation of the lower extremities in 85.2% of cases it is possible to ensure a smooth postoperative course, with primary wound healing. The resection of the tibia without damaging the feeding artery made it possible to preserve the functional state of the knee joint even with the development of purulent complications in the wound area in 7 cases out of 8.
