About this study

Official title: Treatment of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers by Minimally Invasive Surgery in a Cross-sectional Study

Despite the development of the control of DM and the great interest for the complications of the disease, even today the diabetic foot represents a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. Being frequently correlated to alteration of the plantar pressures, the surgery treatment is recommended and the Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) candidates itself to solve this pathologic case.

The purpose of this longitudinal cross-sectional study was to evaluate radiographic and surgical outcomes and the subjective grade of satisfaction of the patients with a diagnosis of chronic plantar diabetic foot ulcers that have been treated at Padua's Orthopaedic Clinic through MIS.

Read the detailed description

Thirty-two patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers (CDFUs) were treated by MIS between January 2010 and September 2016. Clinical evaluation was assessed pre-operatively, as well as at 3 months after surgery and at final follow-up, using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Hallux Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal Scale. The recurrence of the ulcers and complications were recorded. All the ulcers were evaluated with the University of Texas Diabetic Wound Classification. We used the radiological Maestro's criteria to evaluated the radiographs before and after the operation. Also, the bridging bone/callus formation was evaluated at the different radiographic follow-ups, while the articular surface congruency. The global disability was evaluated with the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the satisfaction's level with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Statistical analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Distal Metatarsal Minimally invasive Osteotomy (DMMO)Other

    Percutaneous dorsal incision at the level of the the distal part of the metatarsal bone, a Shannon burr is introduced at the level of metatarsal neck, with orientation of at approximately 45°, keeping the articular cartilage surface of the metatarsal head as reference point on the superior cortex.

    In this position, under fluoroscopic control, the osteotomy is started following a distal-dorsal and proximal-plantar direction. In this way the metatarsal head moves proximally and dorsally reducing the metatarsal pressure on the plantar ulcer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Score change of the AOFAS Hallux metatarsophalangeal interphalangeal scale

    Total between 0 to 100.

    Measured: From 1 month before the operation until study completion, an average of 2 years.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Radiological outcomes changes after surgical treatment

    Evaluation of the Maestro Criteria and the bridging bone/callus formation.

    Measured: Preoperative and at 3-6-12 months post-operative

  2. Change in clinical evaluation with SF-36 score

    Measured: From 1 month before the operation until study completion, an average of 2 years.

  3. Change in clinical evaluation with VAS

    Measured: From 1 month before the operation until study completion, an average of 2 years.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03010215, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
