25 Years of Plantar Pressure Research in #DiabeticFoot Ulcers: A Bibliometric Deep Dive @MDABORATORY #ActAgainstAmputation A new bibliometric analysis from Wei and colleagues at Capital Medical University in Beijing maps 25 years (2000–2024) of global research on plantar pressure and diabetic foot ulcers — over 2,100 publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. The findings tell a story that will feel familiar to many of us who have been in this arena for decades — but they also quantify some things worth paying attention to. The United States leads in total output (678 articles), citation impact, and H-index. The University of Amsterdam ranks first by institutional publication count.

Are We Flying Blind? Largest Study Yet Shows Some Bedside Tests for PAD in Diabetes Are Barely Better Than a Coin Flip #DiabeticFoot #PAD #LimbPreservation #VascularMedicine @NormahaniP @AlunDavies @ImperialCollege #ActAgainstAmputation #Diagnostics This is the kind of study that should make every clinician who manages the diabetic foot sit up a little straighter. The DM PAD study — a prospective, multicentre diagnostic accuracy study across 16 NHS centres and 604 patients — just landed in Health Technology Assessment. Led by Burgess, Normahani, and colleagues at Imperial College London, it asks a deceptively simple question: how well do the bedside tests we use every day actually detect peripheral arterial disease in people with diabetes? The answer, in a word: poorly. Against a reference standard of CTA or MRA (573 scans completed), 39% of participants had confirmed PAD.

The Back Slab Steps Forward: When ‘Good Enough’ Beats the Gold Standard — Results of an RCT on TCC vs. Posterior Splint #ActAgainstAmputation #Offloading #DiabeticFoot There's a moment in most engineering disciplines when you have to confront an uncomfortable truth: the "best" solution on paper isn't always the best solution in the field. NASA learned this with the Space Shuttle — a magnificent machine that required 25,000 people and six months to turn around between flights. The Saturn V, by contrast, was disposable — and it got us to the moon.

The “Iron Curtain” of the Foot: More Insights into Arterial Obstruction in CLTI #ActAgainstAmputation #PAD #DiabeticFoot When we talk about Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI), we often focus on what we can see on an angiogram. But what is actually happening inside those vessels at a microscopic level? A comprehensive histopathological analysis of amputated limbs is shedding new light on the specific patterns of arterial obstruction that lead to limb loss. This work, led by our long-time friend and colleague…

The “Toe, Flow, and Go” Paradigm: Moving Beyond the Sedentary Prescription #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFoot #Diabetes For decades, the standard response to a diabetic foot ulcer has been to shut everything down. We focus so intently on offloading that we often inadvertently prescribe a total sedentary lifestyle. But as our colleagues at the University of Michigan point out in their recent review, we need to shift the narrative toward "Toe, Flow, and Go"—ensuring that while we protect the wound, we don't sacrifice the patient's systemic health.

Can We Actually “Regrow” Sensation? The Launch of PDN-Sensory #DiabeticFoot #Neuromodulation #ActAgainstAmputation #Neuropathy For years, we’ve treated Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) largely by trying to turn down the volume on the pain. While relief is critical, the "holy grail" has always been something more: stopping the damage or, dare we dream, reversing it. We have just published the design for a new multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) in BMJ Open that asks an important question: Can high-frequency 10 kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) actually improve neurological function?

AI-Powered Thermography for Diabetic Foot Risk Stratification: Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study Background: Diabetic foot complications are among the most severe and costly outcomes associated with diabetes, with high prevalence particularly in the Middle East and North Africa region. Current screening tools are often limited by subjectivity, invasiveness, or scalability challenges, underscoring the need for innovative approaches. Objective: This multicenter study aimed to evaluate the performance of an artificial intelligence (#AI) (AI)–powered thermographic system, Thermal Foot Scan (TFScan), in identifying patients at elevated risk of diabetic foot complications through noninvasive temperature profiling. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional analysis of deidentified routine screening data across 4 regions in Saudi Arabia was conducted enrolling 1120 individuals with diabetes. Participants underwent thermal imaging using a smartphone-compatible infrared camera with AI algorithms analyzing angiosomal temperature patterns and asymmetries. Risk was stratified into 4 categories (very low, low, moderate, and high). Associations between TFScan classifications and clinical risk factors, symptoms of neuropathy, and thermal abnormalities were assessed. Results: While 90.7% (1016/1120) of the participants were classified as very low or low risk, 9.3% (104/1120) were identified as moderate or high risk. This higher-risk group exhibited significantly greater prevalence of key diabetic complications (P

Cementing Success: A New Angle on Forefoot Preservation #ActAgainstAmputation #PMMA #DiabeticFoot The “Internal Pedal Amputation” Treating Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis (DFO) in the forefoot is a daily battle in the trenches of limb preservation. It is the most common location for DFU, DFI, and DFO, occurring in up to 90% of cases. While we often lean on conservative standard care, it frequently fails when the bone is involved. Our colleagues in Lebanon, led by Dr. Kaissar Yammine, have just released a preliminary report that hits the sweet spot between aggressive resection and functional preservation.
