Résumé

There are few data comparing outcomes after hallux amputation or partial first ray resection after diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). In a similar context, the choice to perform one of these two surgeries is attributable to clinician preference based on experience and characteristics of the patient and the DFU. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the more definitive surgery between hallux amputation and partial first ray resection. We abstracted data from a cohort of 70 patients followed for a 1-year postoperative period to support clinical practice. We also attempted to identify patient characteristics leading to these outcomes. Our results suggested no statistical difference between the type of surgery and outcomes such as recurrence of DFU and amputation at 3, 6, and 12 months or death. However, there was a statistically significantly increased likelihood of re-ulceration for patients with CAD who underwent hallux amputation (p = 0.02). There was also a significantly increased likelihood of re-ulceration for people with depression or a history when the partial ray resection was performed (p = 0.02). Patients with prior amputation showed a higher probability of undergoing another re-amputation with partial ray resection (p = 0.01). Although the trends that emerge from this project are limited to what is observed in this statistical context, where the number of patients included and the number of total observations per outcome were limited, it highlights interesting data for future research to inform clinical decisions to support best practices for the benefit of patients.
