Abstract:
In conclusion, surgery on the diabetic foot should be looked upon as a required addition to quality conservative care. The success that can be gained from proper performance of these procedures can be rewarding and often improves the ability to salvage limbs that may have otherwise been lost because of ulceration, infection, instability, or pain.
