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.
Nobody wants to have any body part amputated, but sometimes amputation is the only solution to avoid a more serious problem such as infection or cancer. Toe amputation is a relatively simple procedure that carries minimal risk. The surgery usually lasts no more than 30 minutes and typically does not require sedation.
