Outcomes of tibial cortex transverse transport for recalcitrant non-diabetic leg ulcers.
| Outcome parameters | TTT (n = 42) | Control (n = 43) | Odds ratio or mean difference (95% CI) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ulcers healed by 1 year, n (%) | 33 (78.6) | 25 (58.1) | 2.64 (1.10–6.85) | 0.04 |
| Ulcer healing time (months) | 4.5 | 6.1 | −1.60 (−2.93 to −0.26) | 0.02 |
| Major amputation, n (%) | 0 | 4 (9.3) | 1.10 (1.00–1.21) | 0.12 |
| Ulcer recurrences, n (%) | 0 | 1 (2.3) | 1.02 (0.98–1.07) | 0.48 |
| Death, n (%) | 2 (4.7) | 1 (2.3) | 2.05 (0.18–23.48) | 0.98 |
Data are presented as n (%) or the mean ± SD; TTT = tibial cortex transverse transport
