Reoperation and Reamputation Rates After Isolated Sesamoidectomy for Foot Ulcers
To our knowledge, this is the first study to look at reoperation rates after sesamoidectomy surgery for wounds. We conclude that isolated sesamoidectomy is an appropriate procedure for isolated osteomyelitis to the sesamoids or resistant wounds that have failed conservative treatment, with overall low reoperation rates compared with distal foot amputations.
