Evidence Base for Limb BN Evidence-Base

Variable:	AssociatedSoftTissueInjury
Description:	The associated soft tissue injury is measured in the anatomical zone of the limb corresponding to the arterial injury: Thigh (Femoral), Knee (Popliteal), and Leg (Tibial). The degree of soft tissue injury at this level is catagorised as None, Mild (no tissue loss), Moderate (< 25% tissue loss), Severe (25 – 75% tissue loss), Profound (> 75% tissue loss, mangled extremity). The degree of soft tissue injury is related to the adequacy of tissue perfusion and amount of devitalised tissue.
