SIMBA‑T builds on the success of the original SIMBA audit as a global, multicentre prospective study focused on improving outcomes following transmetatarsal amputations (TMA). The study aims to investigate the incidence and risk factors of surgical site infections (SSIs), understand causes of wound breakdown and revision surgery, and collect robust data to optimise care pathways and inform clinical guidelines. By joining SIMBA‑T, participating centres will play a key role in shaping evidence‑based practice for limb‑salvage procedures worldwide.
