Abstract:
Objective Retrospectively investigate 76 cases of traumatic amputation and limb salvage so as to provide clinical reference for children amputation .Methods We retrospevtively investigated 38 cases of traumatic amputation admitted during July 1996 to May 2013(experimental group) ,and 38 cases of limb salvage cases at the same time(control group) ,and re‐evaluated them according to the MESS standards and LSI score .Statistical analysis of the two scoring systems for the inosculation of amputation was conducted .Results Both Mangled Extremity Severity Score and Limb‐salvage index system can be used as the estimation for the traumatic amputation .Conclusion Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS) and Limb‐salvage index (LSI) can be used as an evaluation of the traumatic amputation in children ,and LSI was more suitable for the children .
