Abstract
We report a high rate of complications and revision amputations among trauma-related lower limb amputees, and identify predictors of surgical outcomes that have not been described in the literature including African American race. Compartment syndrome is a significant predictor of major post-surgical complications, revision amputation, and length of hospitalization.
