Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).[1] Tuberculosis generally affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. Most infections do not have symptoms, in which case it is known as latent tuberculosis.
Partial foot amputation (. ) is a common sequel to advanced vascular disease secondary to diabetes and its complications but may also occur due to injury, infection, or birth defect. affects about 2 per 1000 head of population in industrialised countries making it the most common type of amputation surgery.
Transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) is a relatively common operation that is performed to safeguard limb viability. curved fish-mouth incision is made just proximal to the infected tissue of the foot (see the image below). The incision runs from the fifth metatarsal midshaft laterally to the midshaft of the first metatarsal medially through a midplane axis.
