When amputation becomes necessary in a patient with peripheral vascular disease, it is important to preserve as much tissue as possible to preserve maximum function. This is especially important because the other extremity may have similar involvement in the future. With appropriate care, an amputation at the Chopart (calcaneocuboid-talonavicular) level can give a good functional result.
