End-Stage Renal Disease as a Predictor of Ray Amputation and Other Postoperative Sequelae in Finger Amputation

Key takeaways

This study looked at people having a finger amputated and asked whether kidney failure needing dialysis predicted a worse result. It reports that end stage kidney disease went along with a higher chance of needing a bigger amputation and more problems after surgery. It is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause. Only the title was available in this sweep, so the number of people studied is not known here.
