More on what I'd like to call "therapeutic distress signals". Like NPWT, which works on skin matrices, could Ilizarov, properly used, stimulate angiogenesis at a distance? Screenshot Screenshot Even more data supporting a potential advance in diabetic wound healing, researchers have uncovered the mechanisms behind bone transport's (BT) effectiveness in treating severe diabetic foot ulcers...

Modified Tibial Cortex Transverse Transport (TTT): Yet more reported data for limb preservation? #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFoot
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a significant global health concern, affecting a substantial number of individuals with diabetes. These ulcers often present challenges in achieving healing, leading to prolonged non-healing and, in some cases, necessitating amputation. However, a recent study by Liu et al. (2024) offers a promising new approach to managing DFUs[1]. The Study... Continue Reading →
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 →
Tibial Transverse Transport (TTT), Angiogenesis, and Limb Preservation: More support as an adjunct to care? #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFoot #CLTI
A recent study published in ScienceDirect has explored the role of tibial transport in limb preservation and wound healing for patients with diabetes and peripheral artery disease8. Tibial transport is a surgical technique that can improve blood circulation and promote healing in diabetic foot ulcers. In this blog post, we will discuss the findings of this... Continue Reading →
Outcomes of integrated surgical wound treatment mode based on tibial transverse transport for diabetic foot wound #ActAgainstAmputation @ALPSLimb #DiabeticFoot
Congratulations to Chang and coworkers on this effort. This makes us want to reach back to work from our team a dozen or so years ago, where we failed to really explore this fascinating area of creating, in essence, a distress signal in the bone leading to upregulation of factors that can potentially help toward...
