Long-term limb salvage and functional outcomes for patients undergoing partial calcanectomy

CONCLUSION: Non-invasive vascular testing should be obtained in all patients undergoing PC, in order to stratify risk of amputation and identify candidates for revascularization. Over the long-term, patients undergoing PC face significant risk of prolonged wound healing, decline in ambulatory status, and major limb amputation.PMID:38631330 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241247627
