A stable pain-free stump with thick skin cover is the final goal. Will need to evaluate the stump to see the problem. Will be able to advice following that. Can arrange for video consult if you want.

Hello Practo User,
The limb has to be salvaged as much as possible.
Only in people where there is vascular compromise like Diabetes.. should a thought of B/K amputation is valid.
In your case I would try to save as much limb as possible.
