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."
