Research Article: Transverse Tibial Bone Transfer in the Treatment of Diabetes Foot Ulcer: A Pilot Study

Date Published: 2023-07-03

Abstract:
Diabetes is associated with a range of microvascular and macrovascular changes and their associated widespread complications. There are over million patients with diabetes, with a prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) being –% among all diabetic cases. Common risk factors for the development of foot ulcers include poor glycemic control, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, and immunosuppression., Boulton reported that up to % of diabetic foot ulcers were attributable to altered foot pressure due to underlying peripheral neuropathy. According to relevant epidemiological statistics, approximately %-% of lower extremity amputations are induced by diabetes mellitus. Diabetic foot ulcers are complex chronic traumas that significantly influence the morbidity, mortality, and quality of life of patients.
