How long does it take to heal a toe amputation if you have very limited blood circulation?

Varies: If there is infection there may be a greater chance for delayed healing if there is no infection the lack of circulation is proportional to the time it takes to heel. Less circulation means more time.

Age and circulation!: It depends on your health and why you are having the procedure.Infection, diabetes, circulation are all factors. There is no set healing time.

Depends: It depends on how limited the circulation is. There are tests that can help predict if you have enough to heal the surgery site such as transcutaneous oxygen measurements (tcoms), and pulse volume recordings (pvr's). If you do not have enough circulation to heal, you need to see a vascular specialists to see if it can be improved otherwise you may need further amputation.

DO NOTHING: After doing this a long time, I've found doing nothing is sometimes better than doing something. Procedures like a stent or bypass in the leg does not necessarily help toe circulation. If your toe has dry gangrene, in select cases, I'll just watch it to make sure an infection isn't spreading. It may sound gross, and it can take awhile, but I'll just let it fall off on its own. Good luck.

Depends: Depending on the level of the amputation it will take 4 weeks or longer to heal if there are no complications.

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.
