Early Hemodynamic Improvement after Tibial Transport in the Diabetic Foot

The study by Liao et al. (2023) suggests significant differences in early hemodynamics after tibial transverse transport in patients with diabetic foot, focusing on those with nonarterial stenosis versus arterial stenosis. High-frequency color Doppler ultrasonography and laser Doppler flowmetry were used to assess changes. The study contributes to our understanding of diabetic foot treatment by... Continue Reading →

A Wearable Insole System to Measure Plantar Pressure and Shear for People with Diabetes #ActAgainstAmputation @alpslimb #DiabeticFoot

A Wearable Insole System to Measure Plantar Pressure and Shear for People with Diabetes As many know, shear stress has been notoriously difficult to measure in vivo. This is an important step (so to speak) toward addressing that. Great work from our Southampton, Newcastle, and Manchester brethren A Wearable Insole System to Measure Plantar Pressure...

Sex differences in diabetic foot ulcer severity and outcome #ActAgainstAmputation @ALPSlimb #Belgium @PLoSOne #Location

We thank our Belgian colleagues for this enormously useful data. Bottom line: Sex differences play an important role in the epidemiology, treatment, and outcomes of many diseases. Men with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) presented with more severe ulcers and had a higher prevalence of previous lower limb revascularization and smoking compared to women. Women with...

Open vs. Closed TMA: What is the right answer?

Yet more fascinating data in this highly focused area of limb preservation has been published today by Cormier and coworkers in JAPMA. Their data support closing TMAs. Still other works by Lepow and coworkers at our sister institution and our team seem to support open TMA followed by biologic matrix support/NPWT and STSG. What is... Continue Reading →

Improvement of Health Insurance and Outcomes of Medicaid Beneficiaries With Diabetic Foot Ulcers @USC_Vascular @USC @VascularSVS #ActAgainstAmputation @APMA #ToeandFlow

Objective Although suboptimal insurance status has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes-related amputation, it is unclear how better health insurance coverage improves the care and outcomes of patients with diabetic foot ulcerations (DFUs). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the outcomes of Medicaid beneficiaries with DFUs who had transitioned to... Continue Reading →
