Table 2
Categorization of individual wounds into angiosomes (
).
| | Toe wounds (grouped) | | | |
| | Toe wounds (including webspace) | 169 (49.0%) | | | | Toe amputation sites | 16 (4.6%) |
No classification into angiosome possible
(either tibial artery is elible for revascularization) | | Forefoot amputation site | 1 (0.3%) | | | | | 186 (53.9%) | | |
| | Proximal wounds | | Classification into angiosome | | | Unambiguous | Ambiguous |
| | Plantar foot (excluding the heel) | 25 (7.2%) | 19 (76.0%) | 6 (24.0%) | | Dorsal foot | 23 (6.7%) | 21 (91.3%) | 2 (8.7%) | | Lateral or medial side of the foot | 43 (12.5%) | 25 (58.1%) | 18 (41.9%) | | Heel (plantar, lateral, and medial) | 23 (6.7%) | 17 (73.9%) | 6 (26.1%) | | Ankle (malleolar) | 23 (6.7%) | 23 (100.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | Above the ankle | 22 (6.4%) | 17 (77.3%) | 5 (22.7%) | | | 159 (46.1%) | 122 (76.7%) | 37 (23.3%) | | Total | 345 (100.0%) | | |
