Should Every Mummified Toe Be Amputated? Toe Preservation With a Perforator Flap

This study demonstrated that toe preservation with "encircling" perforator flaps is a viable alternative to traditional proximal amputation for patients with peripheral gangrene. This approach may provide a potential benefit in preserving limb length, but careful patient selection and surgical precision are paramount for achieving favorable outcomes.

Abstract

This study demonstrated that toe preservation with "encircling" perforator flaps is a viable alternative to traditional proximal amputation for patients with peripheral gangrene. This approach may provide a potential benefit in preserving limb length, but careful patient selection and surgical precision are paramount for achieving favorable outcomes.
