Outcomes and Risk Factors in Microsurgical Forefoot Reconstruction.

Background:  Defects at the forefoot frequently require microsurgical reconstruction; however, reconstructive failure can lead to results inferior to primary amputation. The purpose of this study was to identify independent factors affecting surgical outcomes and hospitalization time in these patients.

Methods:  All patients that underwent free flap reconstruction of the forefoot between 2008 and 2019 were reviewed retrospectively.
