The Diabetic Rapid Response Acute Foot Team: 7 Essential Skills for Targeted Limb Salvage

Fitzgerald, Ryan H., Mills, Joseph L., Joseph, Warren, Armstrong, David G.

Objective: People with diabetes are prone to develop lower-extremity ulcerations and infections, both of which serve as major risk factors for limb amputation. The development of lower-extremity...

A Method of External Fixation to Offload and Protect the Foot Following Reconstruction in High-Risk Patients: The SALSAstand

Clark, Janice, Mills, Joseph L., Armstrong, David G.

Introduction: The course of wound healing in high-risk patients with diabetes, particularly those with peripheral arterial disease and renal failure, is often prolonged and fraught with...

Use of Pressure Offloading Devices in Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Do we practice what we preach?

Wu, Stephanie C., Jensen, Jeffrey L., Weber, Anna K., Robinson, Daniel E., Armstrong, David G.

OBJECTIVE—Pressure mitigation is crucial for the healing of plantar diabetic foot ulcers. We therefore discuss characteristics and considerations associated with the use of offloading devices.

Wound Chemotherapy by the Use of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy and Infusion

Giovinco, Nicholas A., Bui, Trung D., Fisher, Timothy, Mills, Joseph L., Armstrong, David G.
