Abstract

The results of 134 Gritti–Stokes amputations for ischaemia are presented. The mortality rate was 11 per cent and healing occurred in 88 per cent, reaffirming the good results already reported for this operation. The long term results are reviewed in an attempt to decide whether the most frequently cited criticisms of this procedure are justified. Stump pain and mobility of the patella were not major problems. The difficulties in fitting a suitable prosthesis are discussed and attention is drawn to the advantages of a new prosthesis that has been developed for this amputation.
