Predictors of major adverse limb events after open forefoot amputation in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia

Management of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) and extensive foot necrosis presents a challenge for limb salvage. Our study evaluates preoperative risk factors that contributed to durability and efficacy of limb salvage after open transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) in patients with critical limb threatening ischemia.
