Liver transplant complicated by osteomyelitis(bone infection} in lower leg

  I will die in time without a liver transplant.Does osteomyelitis in leg (open seepage,flare-ups treated with oral cipro}absolutely rule out a liver transplant while this condition exists?Amputation of the leg provides the most likely solution to the infectious beat up old leg but they tell me this is a risky operation due to the weak liver.
  Now the way I see it I can sit around and rot or take my chances soon before I deteriorate further.THE QUESTION IS which of the two operations should I try and go for ,assuming I will have a choice.
  If the transplant has a chance even with the low grade infection in the leg? Somehow I don't think I'll be given that chance, but if I was and it was successful, then the amputation would pose far fewer risks {the leg has to go ,it will also kill me, the cipro is losing its effectiveness against the infection.}Any thoughts? I think maybe I'll cross my fingers and go for the leg chop,50/50 isn't great odds but better to do something.
  Any ideas on all this.Hear of any specials on livers this month?best regards ,Laird Haggart

Well your question is certainly one of the most complex and difficult I
