Burgess and Matsen reviewed whether preoperative circulatory tests can reliably predict amputation wound healing and guide level selection in peripheral vascular disease. Current Concepts Review (1981) of eight test categories, including segmental pressure, skin blood pressure, Xenon-133 clearance and transcutaneous PO2, compared against healing in published series.
