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.
There are two general types of surgical procedure for amputation: (1) the closed or âflapâ amputation and (2) the open or âguillotineâ amputation. The latter is often required when infection is present and there is a need for free drainage from the operative site.
