Abstract

Reconstructive amputation of the foot represents a surgical approach aimed at preserving residual limb length and optimizing functional outcomes in cases of severe foot pathology or trauma. Unlike traditional amputation techniques, reconstructive amputation combines principles of amputation and reconstruction to create a viable stump for prosthetic fitting and restore mobility. This abstract explores the rationale, surgical techniques, and outcomes associated with reconstructive amputation of the foot, highlighting its role in improving patients' quality of life and functional independence. Through flap reconstruction, bone realignment, tendon transfers, and neuromuscular flaps, surgeons can create stable and functional residual limbs that enhance prosthetic use and overall limb function. With comprehensive rehabilitation and prosthetic training, many patients achieve satisfactory mobility, independence, and quality of life following reconstructive amputation. Continued advancements in surgical techniques and prosthetic technologies offer hope for further enhancing outcomes and restoring function in individuals undergoing foot amputation
