[Critical ischemia of hip stump. Incidence, clinical significance and diagnosis].

AIM: To study the incidence of hip stump ischemia, risk factors for 5-year survival after amputation, clinical features and diagnosis of this complication.

MATERIAL AND

METHODS

1287 patients with peripheral artery disease followed by hip amputation were examined within 1997-2015. 50 of them had stump ischemia.

RESULTS

It was found that hip stump ischemia occurs in 5.2% of cases and significantly aggravates 5-year survival. Transcutaneous oxygen tension less than 20 mm Hg is reliable hemodynamic criterion of ischemia.
