Diagnosing osteomylitis
Any Pt with chronic wound especially deeper than dermal layer
“probe to bone test” for open wounds
In one study +ve predictive value of 89% and a negative predictive value of 56%
Bone biopsy is the gold standard
Osseous specimen either taken percutaneously using a trephine or during surgical intervention

Presence of superficial ulcer that does not probe deep to bone & has less than 2cm of surrounding cellulitis in a Pt with no signs of systemic toxicity & absence of leukocytosis
These can usually be treated in OPD with minor surgical debridement and oral antibiotics
![Page 15: BY CHARLES A. ANDERSON THOMAS S. ROUKIS DR ALLAH NAWAZ PGR S IV S.H.L THE DIABETIC FOOT](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e4d5503460f94b42994/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Limb threatening infections
Presence of oedematous foot with full thickness ulcer with gangrene & purulence upon expression and has more than 2 cm of surrounding cellulitis or lymphangitis in Pt with systemic signs of toxicity.
These require hospitalization,surgical debridement & prolonged I.V antibiotics

debridement
Most important initial step is to perform a timely and complete surgical debridement
Gentle retraction 7 meticulous soft tissue handling
debridement without the use of torniquet
Bone culture obtained through a bone trephine if suspicion of osteomylitis or exposed bone followed by application of PMMA-ALC
![Page 37: BY CHARLES A. ANDERSON THOMAS S. ROUKIS DR ALLAH NAWAZ PGR S IV S.H.L THE DIABETIC FOOT](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e4d5503460f94b42994/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Cont…
After debridement ,wound is irrigated with copious amount of N/S to reduce No. of bacteria
Meticulous hemostasis is achieved via cautery and ligation
Acc. To author, use of PMMA-ALC beads simple means of promoting asepsis,filling dead spces,preventing peri-articular soft tissue contraction and maintaining a moist environment within the wound
![Page 38: BY CHARLES A. ANDERSON THOMAS S. ROUKIS DR ALLAH NAWAZ PGR S IV S.H.L THE DIABETIC FOOT](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e4d5503460f94b42994/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
PMMA-ALC Beads
Fashioned by one of the surgical member at the time wound is irrigated
These should be B/w 5 & 10 mm in diameter and are strung by hand onto a No.2 nylon suture
Beads are placed to cover all the vital structures
Debriment is followed by well padded bulky dressing from toes to knee

Peripheral arterial disease
DM is associated with increased risk of PAD
An infection or ulceration once present increases the demand for for blood supply.
With PAD may be an inability to meet that demand leadind to further tissue breakdown
Presence of PAD in diabetics increases the risk of amputation
![Page 41: BY CHARLES A. ANDERSON THOMAS S. ROUKIS DR ALLAH NAWAZ PGR S IV S.H.L THE DIABETIC FOOT](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e4d5503460f94b42994/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Assessment of PAD in diabetic patients
Diabetics usually not give typical history of claudication b/c of associated neuropathy or lack of activity
Routine exam of diabetic include
Complete foot examination & vascular exam.distal pulses should be checked
An ABPI must be obtained
Toe pressures are a more accurate measure of perfusionin diabetic foot
![Page 42: BY CHARLES A. ANDERSON THOMAS S. ROUKIS DR ALLAH NAWAZ PGR S IV S.H.L THE DIABETIC FOOT](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e4d5503460f94b42994/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Treatment of PAD in diabetics
PAD associated with systemic disease process of atherosclerosis
Close association b/w PAD and coronary artery disease
Pts are at high risk for systemic complications & wound problems
The Madigan Army Medical Centre developed an endovascular philosphy to re-establish adequate perfusion
![Page 44: BY CHARLES A. ANDERSON THOMAS S. ROUKIS DR ALLAH NAWAZ PGR S IV S.H.L THE DIABETIC FOOT](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e4d5503460f94b42994/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Cont…
Endovascular options include
Percutaneous angioplasty
Cryoplasty
Resectional or laser atherectomy
Performed under L/A,minimal physiologic insult to pts,can be repeated,sephanous vein can be saved,low morbidity & mortality
Over a period of 12 months,22 out of 30 pts were technically successful (92%)
![Page 45: BY CHARLES A. ANDERSON THOMAS S. ROUKIS DR ALLAH NAWAZ PGR S IV S.H.L THE DIABETIC FOOT](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649e4d5503460f94b42994/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Edema and venous insufficiency
Edema from any etiology is detrimental to healing of foot ulcers or surgical incisions
Edema may be due to venous insufficiency or other medical ailments
Edema sec. to venous insufficiency can be treated surgically,although the main step is external compression
Edema sec. to cardiac dysfunction is treated by improving cardiac performance & diuresis

summary
The incidence of diabetes is increasing.
Lower extremity complications of diabetes such as neuropathy,ulceration,infection and PAD are common and can lead to significant morbidity including major amputation
The recognition & treatment of these complication is important
General surgeon should have a good understanding of pathophysiology and treatment of complication associated with diabetic foot
