The indications for amputation include vascular or diabetic indications, such as infection, tissue loss, pain and ischaemia; as well as non-vascular indications, such as trauma, malignancy and congenital malformation. Below-knee amputation (BKA) is not always possible and a proximal amputation is sometimes required. In these instances, an above-knee amputation is routinely performed. A through-knee amputation is not an alternative to BKA and AKA in current daily practice. There is stronger evidence in literature supporting that; "Surgeons can perform TKA as a primary alternative to AKA in patients when BKA is not feasible."
