Limb salvage in diabetics with foot ulcers.
The healing results in 491 ulcers in 272 diabetic patients are reported. Soft moulded insoles and shoe corrections were the main part of the therapy. There were 329 (67%) neuropathic, 87 (17%) traumatic, 44 (9%) ischaemic and 31 (6%) ulcers of other various pathogenesis. Thirty seven per cent of the ulcers were complicated with invasive infection. Within the period of observation of 18 months (...
متن کاملLimb salvage in severe diabetic foot infection.
BACKGROUND The purpose of our study was to determine the efficacy of a management algorithm that includes negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in diabetic feet with limb-threatening infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five septic diabetic feet were treated with NPWT between 2006 and 2008. After emergent abscess evacuation, early vascular intervention was performed if necessary. Debrideme...
متن کاملLimb salvage and vascular augmentation by microsurgical free flap transfer for treatment of neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers.
BACKGROUND Neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers are generally deep and infectious wounds extending to the bone or joint. We performed microsurgical free flap transfer for limb salvage and vascular augmentation of feet with diabetic neuropathy. METHODS Angiography was performed to identify any significant arterial disease. The free flaps were transplanted after resection of the damaged skin and in...

متن کاملMultimodal therapy as an algorithm to limb salvage in diabetic patients with large heel ulcers.
In many series of diabetic foot ulcer care, heel ulcers greater than 4 cm across have been identified as an independent predictor of limb loss. Therefore, we set out to pursue the most aggressive limb salvage algorithm in patients with heel ulcers greater than 4 cm in diameter. Over 5 years, we identified 21 patients, 39-84 years of age, all with diabetes mellitus, with heel ulcers greater than...
