Use of the Allgöwer-Donati suture technique for wound closure following transmetatarsal amputation.

Introduction: The Allgöwer-Donati suture technique reportedly has lower incision perfusion impairment compared with other suture techniques. The authors of the present case series hypothesized that suture technique selection to achieve lower incision perfusion impairment may result in improved healing rates and decreased incidence of wound complications in partial foot amputations, specifically TMAs.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of TMA with skin closure completed using the Allgöwer-Donati suture technique.
