What the Researchers Say

Osteomyelitis is not considered an indication for amputation. The osteomyelitis lesions healed and the foot structure and 
function were maintained.

Dillon RS: Treatment of Osteomyelitis in the Diabetic Foot with Systemic 
and Locally injected Antibiotics and the End-diastolic Pneumatic compression 
Boot - Case Series Vascular Surgery Vol. 24 #9 Nov/Dec 1990

"Early leg amputation was avoided in all but one patient. 
Late leg amputation occurred in two patients who were lost to 
follow-up care. Osteomyelitis, ischemic necrosis, and advanced 
soft tissue infection were shown not to be clear-cut 
indications for amputation in the 
ischemic diabetic foot."
