Depends: If there is limited circulation then it may take a long time to heal. Has there been any vascular studies performed to determine where the blockage is occurring? If this blockage can be removed then it can help with the healing process.

TREAT CIRCULATION: Is the vascular disease being addressed? Unfortunately, with limited circulation, sometimes a toe amputation does not heal, leading to a higher amputation.
