  1. TKR Total knee replacement, Hemi Hip hemiarthroplasty, NOF Neck of femur, NBTwo patients received a combination of arthroplasty (THR and TKR) and therefore are counted in both groups [25, 35]. No sub-group demographic description of gender status in Li ADF et al., so incomplete gender demographics compared to total participants. Reporting of amputation cause and indication for arthroplasty was variable, so not all patients are accounted for. Furthermore, some patients had bilateral amputations, at differing levels, accounting for the number of total amputations recorded exceeding the number of patients
