An algorithm for limb salvage for diabetic foot ulcers
Abstract
The treatment of diabetic foot ulceration is complex with multiple considerations often leading to limb amputation. This article presents the usefulness of a multidisciplinary approach along with an algorithm to manage and salvage diabetic foot ulcers from amputation. This algorithm is a step-by-step guide to manage the diabetic foot ulcer and can help one in the selection of patients for limb salvage reconstruction.
