“…Various opinions have been expressed concerning the effect of sympathectomy on the height of amputation. It has been said that a longer stump is obtained on a sympathectomized extremity (Perlow and Roth 1949, Pratt 1955, Flotte 1959 or that the expedient does not affect the height (Kirschner 1951, Lempke et al 1963. Gibbel (1960) and Gillespie (1961), among others, think that sympathectomy has a favourable influence on the healing of the stump.…”

“…Specific antibiotics are of great assistance in combatting inflammation. Pratt (28) points out that as blood flows through narrowed vessels there is a tendency toward thrombosis. This is particularly true if inflammatory edema is present.…”

“…Diminution of the caliber of the arteries is a gradual process. As general calcification slowly obliterates large and medium‐sized vessels, compensation often occurs through the development of a collateral circulation based on dilation of the small vessels in the peripheral vascular bed (1–35). The importance of this collateral circulation is emphasized by Dunlop (7).…”
