Practice and Evaluation of Competence in Assessment of Arterial Circulation of the Lower Limbs among Medical Students and Physicians in Training - A Systematic Review.

Introduction

A recent study on patients with acute lower limb ischemia showed that the proportion of inadequate examination of lower extremity circulation was associated with higher rate of amputation and death.
