Our study suggests that major amputations following PAIs are more likely in obese patients with neurologic deficits. It also suggests that venous ligation in cases of concomitant popliteal vein injuries does not significantly impact early limb salvage rate. Further research is needed to determine the optimal approach for managing concomitant popliteal vein injuries.
