Almost half of patients undergoing toe amputation required further digital amputation. However, limb preservation rates are high, and a majority of patients are alive at 5-year follow-up. There was no significant difference in outcome between patients undergoing hallux and non-hallux primary procedures. Overall, increasing age remains the only independent predictor of iMAFS and OS.
