Limb Salvage and Functional Outcomes following Free Tissue Transfer for the Treatment of Recalcitrant Diabetic Foot Ulcers
The study demonstrated promising reconstructive and functional outcomes following FTT for recalcitrant DFUs.

This trial has provided the first evidence of P1NP elevation in DFO compared to diabetic foot ulcers not complicated by osteomyelitis.
Current evidence points toward stem cell therapy as an effective treatment for human patients with DFU.
Controlling glucose parameters during the course of hospital admission is associated with shorter length of hospital admission, lower 30-day mortality, and lower 1-year mortality.
Patients who are seemingly well controlled with diet, exercise, and medical therapy, even those with normal FPG and HbA1c could have uncontrolled PPHG. The combination of improved detection and monitoring of PPHG along with effective medications may help to establish optimal glycemic control thereby reducing diabetic complications.
