Rudolf A. Pyka M.D.1 and Mark B. Coventry M.D.1

1 Section of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester

The cutancous vascular supply of twenty-one feet of extremities amputated for malignant tumors was studied in relation to necrosis of the skin occurring after triple arthrodesis, heel-cord lengthening, translocation of the peroneus longus tendon, and stripping of plantar fascia. Additional factors responsible for delayed healing of wounds are discussed.
