  • Title: Foot reconstruction in diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular insufficiency.
    Author: Searles JM, Colen LB.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 1991 Jul; 18(3):467-83. PubMed ID: 1889157.
    Abstract:
    The great majority of diabetic patients have diabetic foot symptoms. Significant recent advances in reconstructive surgery, as well as improvements in the management of both diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease, make these patients eligible for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Many diabetic patients who would previously have had below-the-knee amputations are now having their complex foot wounds reconstructed. In addition to the metabolic consequences of the disease and the increased susceptibility to infection and wound healing complications, infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease, peripheral neuropathy, and hemorrheologic changes are addressed in this article.
