Article Synopsis
- Charcot foot, a serious complication of diabetes, can lead to high mortality and treatment costs, with amputation associated with a 70% 5-year mortality rate.* -
- A study compared outcomes between amputation and circular external fixation (CEF) for managing infected diabetic foot ulcers, revealing significantly lower mortality and better quality of life scores for CEF patients compared to those who underwent amputation.* -
- Although the overall treatment costs were similar for both methods, the quality of life improvement was much greater in the CEF group, indicating that CEF may be a preferable option for diabetic foot management.*
