Long-term efficient management of diabetic foot ulcer using simultaneous foot ulcer closure and surgical off-loading
Foot deformity is one of the causes of foot ulcers. Foot ulcers often recur due to foot deformity. Foot ulcer healing alone does not reduce the risk factor of foot ulcer recurrence. The majority of foot ulcer patients, most of whom are elderly, have foot deformities. This limits the chances of under...
