A retrospective study of 191 patients undergoing 203 Burgess type below knee amputations for end-stage peripheral vascular disease showed that the only clinical feature which associated significantly with wound healing was the lowest palpable pulse. The pulse level was noted preoperatively and was compared with the healing rates in the amputation stumps. When the femoral pulse was absent, 79% of below knee amputations failed. When the femoral pulse was palpable, only 29% wound breakdown occurred. When the popliteal or more distal pulses were palpable, only 10% failure was recorded.
一项对191例因终末期外周血管疾病接受203次膝下伯吉斯（Burgess）型截肢手术患者的回顾性研究表明，与伤口愈合显著相关的唯一临床特征是可触及的最低脉搏。术前记录脉搏水平，并将其与截肢残端的愈合率进行比较。当股动脉搏动消失时，79%的膝下截肢手术失败。当股动脉搏动可触及，仅有29%的伤口出现裂开。当腘动脉或更远处的脉搏可触及，记录的失败率仅为10%。
