Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging for Limb Salvage in Patients at Risk of Amputation: Prospective Observational Study Background: Scores and prediction models, such as the MESS score for trauma and the Wifi classification for diabetic foot ulcers, help in the decision-making process of amputation. However, they can be subjective as they depend on the experience of the medical staff applying them. Objective: Assess the impact of temperature measurement using infrared thermal imaging in extremities salvage. Methods: We included 29 patients who sought a second opinion after an amputation recommendation. Infrared thermographic images were acquired to measure the temperature differences (ΔT) between the injured and uninjured limbs. For the salvaged limbs, we provided clinical follow-up until 12 weeks. Results: Of the patients enrolled in the study, 27 limbs were salvaged. Thermographic images allowed the discrimination of two groups: the first group of 18 patients with negative deltas, ΔT -3.6°C ± 1.99, and a second group of 9 patients with positive deltas, ΔT of 3.36°C ±2.71. None of the groups had progression to enlargement of their delta in the first 5 days, and at the twelfth week, ΔT approached 0°C at wound closure. For the two patients who required amputation, one patient showed an initial negative ΔT of -4.3°C, which worsened to -5°C by the fifth day, and the other patient showed an initial negative of -4.5°C, which worsened to -5.8°C by the fifth day. Conclusions: Digital infrared thermography is a tool that can help guide limb salvage in patients with uncertain clinical diagnoses. This imaging modality allows visualization of thermal differences and patterns derived from thermal changes in patients at risk of limb amputation.

I voted blue in my adopted red state. Many of my patients are the sickest patients with little to no insurance, and we do our best to save as many limbs as possible with the resources at hand. These are the same patients that believe the MAGA lies. Its maddening.

One of the most interesting things about Mississippi is that we are usually #1 in diabetes and vascular disease, yet Medicaid often doesn't cover services that could help save a limb. Make it make sense.

Her pretty eyes, and I publicly wept because I'm exhausted, because I'm sad for my patient, and sad for these pups that have done nothing wrong and want nothing but pets and being told, "good girl."

Help when and who you can. That's all.

I'm really happy Friday is over. It started with loss of internet, which led to delay in patient charting and ended with me performing an urgent surgery.

We are not guaranteed tomorrow. Enjoy your friends and family, and tell them you love and appreciate them. In my line of work, there's so much sadness, so we do our best to create a happy atmosphere for ourselves and our patients. Sometimes there's music, singing or really bad dancing.

One amputation occurs every 4 minutes. If you are diabetic, visit with your podiatrist a minimum of once yearly and your physician a minimum of twice per year. The life you'll be saving is your own.

A decade of multidisciplinary care at MEDVAMC shows:

1️⃣ 60% reduction in leg amputation rates
2️⃣ 95% drop in surgical infections
3️⃣ Improved care through collaboration

A model worth replicating. #LimbSalvage #VeteransCare #podiatry #medsky

In this season of thanks, I'd like to thank all of my patients that have entrusted me with their health. I'm honored to be part of your healthcare team.
