Of the roughly 38 million people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the United States, up to 34% will develop a diabetic foot ulcer at some point, up to 75% of those who develop an ulcer will experience recurrent ulcers, and approximately 18% of patients with a diabetic foot ulcer will undergo lower-limb amputation. The aim of this study was to determine whether depressive symptoms change after a minor, nontraumatic amputation. We conducted a multimethod study consisting of semi-structured interviews (n = 12) and a retrospective cohort (n = 20) of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who underwent a nontraumatic, minor amputation of a single toe (partial or total) or partial ray resection.

To reduce this burden, we need treatments that prevent more severe stages of foot disease and improve quality of life.
