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."

ischemic diabetic legs by local antibiotic injections and
