dc.description.abstractAmputation is a critical surgical procedure with a history dating back to ancient times. Despite advancements in surgical techniques and rehabilitation, limb amputations remain necessary for various medical conditions, including irreversible ischemia, severe trauma, uncontrollable infections, and malignancies. Globally, the causes and outcomes of amputations vary significantly, with peripheral vascular disease being the leading cause in developed countries, while trauma and infections predominate in developing nations. Ethiopia, like many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), faces unique challenges in managing patients requiring amputations, influenced by local health infrastructure, cultural practices, and disease prevalence.
