Description
Summary:Hallux amputations have long been used for treatment of hallux osteomyelitis as a result of ulcerations at various levels of the hallux. The aim of this study is to expand on a previously presented poster and to assess the long-term functional outcomes in patients with various levels of hallux amputations and determine whether there is an ideal anatomic level that will limit the amount of post-operative complications. A retrospective review of 148 feet with hallux amputations performed at various levels from 7/1/2013 to 7/16/2020 was performed. Two years minimum follow up was required for inclusion in the study. Re-ulceration, further amputation, healing of index procedure, and revascularization status were evaluated. Statistical analysis utilizing chi square analysis was performed to calculate p values where
