Overview
There are some useful tools that were developed to assess for the possibility of gangrene. These include the recent development of the Society of Vascular Surgery which is called WIfI which stands for wound, ischemia, foot infection [1], and the Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (LRINEC) score [2] [3].
Other Diagnostic Studies
- There are some useful tools that were developed to assess for the possibility of gangrene.
- These include:
- WIfI (wound, ischemia, foot infection) Classification [1]This can anticipate the need for revascularization if the result shows a high risk for amputation.Score can range from 0 to 3Score of 1 is given to a salvageable minor tissue loss by doing a simple amputation.Score of 2 is given to multiple digital amputations or transmetatarsal amputations.Score of 3 signifies an extensive tissue loss requiring extensive amputation.
- Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (LRINEC) score [2] [3].
