Diabetic Limb Salvage Algorithm
Neurotrophic
Ischemic
Venous
What percentage of each category is reflected in the pathology seen?
Neurotrophic
Usually younger age group
Uncontrolled diabetes, obese, low socioeconomic status, poor compliance
+significant neuropathy, adequate blood flow
+Deformity
charcot
Neurotrophic
Providers: PodiatristProsthetist
Treatment focus:Short term
Offloading
Long termAFO/orthotic/diabetic shoeSurgical correction of deformity
Functional amputation
è
Functional amputation?
Functional amputation levels
Unstable
1st ray amputation
Functional amputation?
Functional amputation?
Even the patient’s foot knew this was not right…..
Functional amputation
This is much better
Trans-metatarsal amputation with tendo-achilles lengthening and split TibialisAnterior tendon transfer
Ischemic
Usually older patient population
Diabetes, CAD, HTN, CVA, tobacco
Ischemic
Providers:Vascular surgery
If revascularization is possibleSurgical removal of necrotic tissue
functional amputation level not as important compared with neurotrophic group
If revascularization is not possibleGoal of wound care should shift from healing wound to keeping it stable
betadine
Venous
Usually older patient population
+/- DM, HTN, CHF, obesity
edema
Venous
Providers:PCP
Diuresis
CompressionShort term
Unna boot
Long termCompression stockings
debridement
Mixed
Combinations of neurotrophic, ischemic, and venous
Most cases will be mixed to some degree, the key is to figure out how much each component is contributing to the wound and focus your treatment plan accordingly
