Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the precautions and clinical effects of minimally invasive lateral bone transfer of tibia in the treatment of diabetic foot.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 82 patients with diabetic foot admitted to the Trauma Department of Changzhou First People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022. According to the Wagner grade of diabetic foot, there were 12 cases of grade 2, 50 cases of grade 3, and 20 cases of grade 4. According to the surgical method, 45 patients were divided into bone transfer group. There were 29 males and 16 females, with an average age of 65.27±10.74 years (ranging from 44-87 years), who underwent minimally invasive bone transfer of tibia combined with local debridement treatment. In the non-bone transfer group, there were 37 cases (26 males and 11 females) with an average age of 66.05±11.08 years (ranging from 44 to 86 years), who were treated with local debridement. Gender, age, Wagner grade, surface temperature difference of the affected limb, visual analogue scale (VAS) score of the affected limb before and 1 month after surgery, wound healing rate 1 month after surgery, and recurrence rate of the affected foot 1 year after surgery were compared between the two groups. Outcomes of the cases of different Wagner grades were compared.Result:All 82 patients were followed up for 14.23±1.20 months. There was no significant difference in gender, age, Wagner grade and preoperative VAS between the two groups ( P>0.05). The skin temperature of the affected limb before and after surgery in the bone transfer group was significantly higher than that in the non-bone transfer group 1.93±0.31 ℃ ( P<0.05), and the VAS of the bone transfer group was 2.18±0.58 points 1 month after surgery, which was lower than that in the non-bone transfer group of 5.41±0.93. The VAS difference before and after surgery in the bone transfer group was 4.80±1.24 points, which was greater than that in the non-bone transfer group of 1.62±1.48 points with significant difference ( P<0.05). The wound healing rate was over 98.78%±2.17% in the bone transfer group and 52.57%±6.41% in the non-bone transfer group one month after surgery. No recurrence or recurrence was found in the bone transfer group one year after surgery, and the recurrence rate was 86% (32/37) in the non-bone transfer group with significant difference ( P<0.05). There was no difference in preoperative VAS for different grades of diabetic foot (grades 2, 3, and 4). There were significant differences in VAS, VAS decrease, postoperative limb surface temperature increase, local wound healing rate at 1 month, and lower limb ulcer recurrence or recurrence rate at 12 months in the bone transfer groups of Wagner grade 2, 3, and 4 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Minimally invasive lateral bone transfer of tibia combined with local precision debridement could significantly increase the healing rate of diabetic foot ulcer, improve the peripheral microcirculation of the affected limb, reduce the pain of the affected limb, and decrease the recurrence rate of diabetic foot ulcer.
