Abstract
The diagnosis and management of chronic nonspinal osteomyelitis can be challenging, and guidelines regarding the appropriateness of performing percutaneous image-guided biopsies to acquire bone samples for microbiological analysis remain limited. An expert panel convened by the Society of Academic Bone Radiologists developed and endorsed consensus statements on the various indications for percutaneous image-guided biopsies to standardize care and eliminate inconsistencies across institutions. The issued statements pertain to several commonly encountered clinical presentations of chronic osteomyelitis and were supported by a literature review. For most patients, MRI can help guide management and effectively rule out osteomyelitis when performed soon after presentation. Additionally, in the appropriate clinical setting, open wounds such as sinus tracts and ulcers, as well as joint fluid aspirates, can be used for microbiological culture to determine the causative microorganism. If MRI findings are positive, surgery is not needed, and alternative sites for microbiological culture are not available, then percutaneous image-guided biopsies can be performed. The expert panel recommends that antibiotics be avoided or discontinued for an optimal period of 2 weeks prior to a biopsy whenever possible. Patients with extensive necrotic decubitus ulcers or other surgical emergencies should not undergo percutaneous image-guided biopsies but rather should be admitted for surgical debridement and intraoperative cultures. Multidisciplinary discussion and approach are crucial to ensure optimal diagnosis and care of patients diagnosed with chronic osteomyelitis.

Abstract
The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has published evidence-based guidelines on the management and prevention of diabetes-related foot diseases since 1999. The present guideline is an update of the 2019 IWGDF guideline on the diagnosis and management of foot infections in persons with diabetes mellitus. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was used for the development of this guideline. This was structured around identifying clinically relevant questions in the P(A)ICO format, determining patient-important outcomes, systematically reviewing the evidence, assessing the certainty of the evidence, and finally moving from evidence to the recommendation. This guideline was developed for healthcare professionals involved in diabetes-related foot care to inform clinical care around patient-important outcomes. Two systematic reviews from 2019 were updated to inform this guideline, and a total of 149 studies (62 new) meeting inclusion criteria were identified from the updated search and incorporated in this guideline. Updated recommendations are derived from these systematic reviews, and best practice statements made where evidence was not available. Evidence was weighed in light of benefits and harms to arrive at a recommendation. The certainty of the evidence for some recommendations was modified in this update with a more refined application of the GRADE framework centred around patient important outcomes. This is highlighted in the rationale section of this update. A note is also made where the newly identified evidence did not alter the strength or certainty of evidence for previous recommendations. The recommendations presented here continue to cover various aspects of diagnosing soft tissue and bone infections, including the classification scheme for diagnosing infection and its severity. Guidance on how to collect microbiological samples, and how to process them to identify causative pathogens, is also outlined. Finally, we present the approach to treating foot infections in persons with diabetes, including selecting appropriate empiric and definitive antimicrobial therapy for soft tissue and bone infections; when and how to approach surgical treatment; and which adjunctive treatments may or may not affect the infectious outcomes of diabetes-related foot problems. We believe that following these recommendations will help healthcare professionals provide better care for persons with diabetes and foot infections, prevent the number of foot and limb amputations, and reduce the patient and healthcare burden of diabetes-related foot disease.

Abstract
In march 2020, the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) published an update of the 2015 guidelines on the diagnosis and management of diabetic foot infection (DFI). While we (the French ID society, SPILF) endorsed some of these recommendations, we wanted to update our own 2006 guidelines and specifically provide informative elements on modalities of microbiological diagnosis and antibiotic treatment (especially first- and second-line regiments, oral switch and duration). The recommendations put forward in the present guidelines are addressed to healthcare professionals managing patients with DFI and more specifically focused on infectious disease management of this type of infection, which clearly needs a multidisciplinary approach. Staging of the severity of the infection is mandatory using the classification drawn up by the IWGDF. Microbiological samples should be taken only in the event of clinical signs suggesting infection in accordance with a strict preliminarily established protocol. Empirical antibiotic therapy should be chosen according to the IWGDF grade of infection and duration of the wound, but must always cover methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. Early reevaluation of the patient is a fundamental step, and duration of antibiotic therapy can be shortened in many situations. When osteomyelitis is suspected, standard foot radiograph is the first-line imagery examination and a bone biopsy should be performed for microbiological documentation. Histological analysis of the bone sample is no longer recommended. High dosages of antibiotics are recommended in cases of confirmed osteomyelitis.

Abstract
The integration of hydrogels with bio-friendly functional components through simple and efficient strategies to construct wound dressings with broad-spectrum antibacterial and immunomodulatory properties to promote the healing of infected diabetic wounds is highly desirable but remains a major challenge. Here, wormwood essential oil (WEO) is effectively encapsulated in the hydrogel via an O/W-Pickering emulsion during the polymerization of methacrylic anhydride gelatin (GelMA), acrylamide (AM), and acrylic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (AAc-NHS) to form a multifunctional hydrogel dressing (HD-WEO). Compared with conventional emulsions, Pickering emulsions not only improve the encapsulation stability of the WEO, but also enhance the tensile and swelling properties of hydrogel. The synergistic interaction of WEO's diverse bioactive components provides a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against S. aureus, E. coli, and MRSA. In addition, the HD-WEO can induce the polarization of macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotype. With these advantages, the broad-spectrum antibacterial and immunomodulatory HD-WEO effectively promotes the collagen deposition and neovascularization, thereby accelerating the healing of MRSA-infected diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Recently, the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot and the Infectious Diseases Society of America divided diabetic foot disease into diabetic foot infection (DFI) and diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO). DFI is usually diagnosed clinically, while numerous methods exist to diagnose DFO. In this narrative review, the authors aim to summarize the updated data on the diagnosis of DFO. An extensive literature search using "diabetic foot [MeSH]" and "osteomyelitis [MeSH]" or "diagnosis" was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar in July 2023. The possibility of DFO is based on inflammatory clinical signs, including the probe-to-bone (PTB) test. Elevated inflammatory biochemical markers, especially erythrocyte sedimentation rate, are beneficial. Distinguishing abnormal findings of plain radiographs is also a first-line approach. Moreover, sophisticated modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine imaging, are helpful if doubt remains after a first-line diagnosis. Transcutaneous bone biopsy, which does not pass through the wound, is necessary to avoid contaminating the sample. This review focuses on the current diagnostic techniques for DFOs with an emphasis on the updates. To obtain the correct therapeutic results, selecting a proper option is necessary. Based on these numerous diagnosis modalities and indications, the proper choice of diagnostic tool can have favorable treatment outcomes.

The Role of Serial Radiographs in Diagnosing Diabetic Foot Bone Osteomyelitis. Mediterr J Hematol Infect Dis 2022; 14:e2022055. [PMID: 35865396 PMCID: PMC9266704 DOI: 10.4084/mjhid.2022.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Objective Diagnosing diabetes-related foot osteomyelitis is sometimes a challenge for clinicians since it may occur without local or systemic signs of infection. Thus, the primary purpose of this article was to evaluate the role of progressive radiographic changes in diagnosing diabetic foot osteomyelitis. Materials and Methods A retrospective review of databases of our Institution was performed to identify all long-standing diabetic foot patients who underwent two radiographic examinations spaced no more than five weeks apart and a subsequent magnetic resonance (MR) examination from November 2015 to November 2020. A total of 46 patients (32 men, 14 women; mean age, 57.3 years) were identified. Results serial radiographs showed 89% sensitivity, 38% specificity, 80% diagnostic accuracy, 87% positive predictive value (PPV), 43% negative predictive value (NPV) to diagnose osteomyelitis (P value < 0,05). Bone destruction was the most reliable radiographic sign with 89% sensitivity, 88% specificity, 89% diagnostic accuracy, 97% PPV, 64% NPV (P value < 0,05). Conclusion Progressive bony changes detected by serial radiographs are a useful tool to diagnose diabetic foot osteomyelitis.

Conservative surgical treatment for metatarsal osteomyelitis in diabetic foot: experience of two French centres. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2022; 38:e3534. [PMID: 35486542 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Conservative surgery (CS) for diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) consists in removing all or part of the infected bone tissues without amputation, in complement with antibiotic therapy. Data on CS for DFO therapy are scarce. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of all DFO episodes treated with CS between 06/2007 and 12/2017. Remission was defined by the absence of soft-tissue infection, complete sustained (i.e. > 1 month) healing of the foot ulcer, favourable (i.e., stabilisation or improvement) radiological outcome, and no need for additional surgery during a 1-year follow-up. RESULTS During the study period, 47 episodes (in 41 patients) were analysed. Excluding deaths (all unrelated to the DFO; n = 3) or loss to follow-up before 1 year (n = 5), the remission rate was 64.2%. Most failures occurred during the first 6 months (79%, 11/14). Patients who experienced failure had a higher rate of peripheral arterial disease with arterial stenosis than patients in remission (57% vs. 24%, P = 0.03), a higher C-reactive protein rate at admission (116 ± 112 mg/L vs. 48 ± 46 mg/L, P = 0.02), and a trend for a higher rate of abscesses (29% vs. 4%, P = 0.06). At 1-year follow-up, foot ulcers related to transfer lesion were identified in 25.5% of the cases. At the last follow-up (mean 3 ± 2 years), the remission rate was 23/25 (92%). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that CS is a therapeutic option in patients with localised but severe DFO. Clinicians should, however, consider the necessity of revascularisation, and higher risk of failure if surgery is performed in patients presenting with acute foot infections.

Predictors and outcomes of diabetic foot ulcer infection with ESBL-producing bacteria in a large tertiary center. Int J Infect Dis 2021; 113:318-324. [PMID: 34653657 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2021.10.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2021] [Revised: 09/04/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to describe the predictors and outcomes of infection with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria in patients with an acute diabetic foot infection (DFI). METHODS The records of patients admitted with acute DFI to a large tertiary hospital during the years 2014-2018 were reviewed. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected, as well as outcomes regarding amputations and mortality. Only cultures obtained during the first 2 weeks following admission were considered. RESULTS Cultures were available for 493 patients; 121 (24.5%) included bacteria suspected of being ESBL producers. Patients infected with ESBL-producing bacteria were older, more likely to have peripheral vascular disease (PVD), and had higher SINBAD and Wagner scores upon admission. They were also more likely to have been hospitalized in the recent 6 months. Major amputations were more prevalent in patients with versus without an ESBL-producing bacterial infection (30.6% vs 19.4%; P = 0.010), yet overall amputations and mortality rates were similar. CONCLUSIONS ESBL-producing bacteria are common pathogens in DFI, more prevalent in older patients with PVD, advanced ulcers, and recent hospitalization. They are associated with higher rates of major amputation. These considerations may support the choice of empirical antibiotic therapy in patients admitted with an acute DFI.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the main pathogens isolated from diabetic foot infections (DFI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the importance of the persistence of S. aureus in this environment and the possible modifications of the bacterial genome content over time. Molecular typing of S. aureus isolates cultured from patients with the same DFI over a 7-year study revealed a 25% rate of persistence of this species in 48 patients, with a short median persistence time of 12weeks (range: 4-52weeks). Non-specific clonal complexes were linked to this persistence. During the follow-up, bla genes were acquired in three cases, whereas some virulence markers were lost in all cases after a long period of colonization (21.5weeks). Only one patient (2%) had a long-term persistence of 48weeks. The genome sequencing of a clonal pair of early/late strains isolated in this patient showed mutations in genes encoding bacterial defence and two-component signal transduction systems. Although, this study suggests that the long-term persistence of S. aureus in DFI is a rare event, genomic evolution is observed, highlighting the low adaptive ability of S. aureus to the specific environment and stressful conditions of diabetic foot ulcers. These results provide the basis for better understanding of S. aureus dynamics during persistent colonization in chronic wounds.

Associations of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate with All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients with Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis. Int J Gen Med 2021; 14:4499-4509. [PMID: 34429636 PMCID: PMC8374850 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s323015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim The purpose of this study was to explore the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and clinical outcomes in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO). Methods This was a retrospective observational study. A total of 199 patients with DFO were recruited and divided into three groups by eGFR: normal kidney function group (eGFR ≥ 90), mildly decreased kidney function group (eGFR 60–89) and moderately to severely decreased kidney function group (eGFR < 60). The patients were followed-up for a median of 36 months, and the study outcomes were all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE). Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between eGFR and the outcomes, and a stratified analysis by sex was conducted. Results During follow-up, all-cause mortality occurred in 51 (25.63%) patients among 199 participants, 54 (28.72%) had MACE in 188 participants and 26 (48.15%) of them died. After fully adjusting for potential confounders, compared to eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 had lower incidence of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.22–0.85; P = 0.015) and MACE (HR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.27–0.96; P = 0.038). Additionally, compared to eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 was independently associated with decreased risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.33; 95% CI 0.14–0.76, P = 0.010) and MACE (HR = 0.27; 95% CI 0.11–0.65, P = 0.004) in male, but not in female. Conclusion In conclusion, decreased eGFR is a risk factor for all-cause mortality and MACE in individuals with DFO. Additionally, male with decreased eGFR had a higher risk of all-cause mortality and MACE, but female did not.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of modified induced membrane technique and pedicled skin (myocutaneous) flap for chronic tibial osteomyelitis in patients with diabetes. Methods A clinical data of 22 diabetic patients with chronic tibial osteomyelitis between January 2017 and March 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 males and 7 females with an average age of 52 years (range, 44-65 years). The course of diabetes was 3-12 years (mean, 6.1 years). The course of chronic osteomyelitis was 4 months to 7 years (mean, 3.3 years). The chronic osteomyelitis was rated as type Ⅲ in 9 cases and as type Ⅳ in 13 cases according to the Cierny-Mader classification criteria. Bacterial culture showed 21 cases of single bacterial infection and 1 case of mixed bacterial infection. Preoperative color Doppler ultrasound and CT angiography confirmed that the anterior and posterior tibial arteries were unobstructed. In the first stage of treatment, the bone and soft tissue defects were filled with antibiotic bone cement after the lesion was thoroughly debrided; the length of bone defect was 4-9 cm (mean, 5.6 cm), and the size of soft tissue defect was 5 cm×2 cm to 10 cm×7 cm. After 7-10 days, the bone cement was removed and a new antibiotic bone cement was filled into the bone defect. Meanwhile, the pedicled skin (myocutaneous) flap was performed to repair the wound. After 7-12 weeks, the inflammatory indexes returned to normal, autogenous iliac bone or combined with artificial bone was used to repair the bone defect in the second stage of treatment. The wound healing, bone defect healing, complications, and the number of successful treatments were recorded. The satisfaction of the skin flap efficacy and the function of the affected limb were evaluated. Results Local necrosis of the skin flap occurred in 3 cases after operation, leading to delayed healing of the wound; the other 19 flaps survived successfully, leading to primary healing of the wound. The skin grafts survived completely and the incisions healed by first intention. All cases were followed up 13-28 months with an average of 20 months. The infection recurred in 2 cases within 12 months after operation, and the bone defects healed after treated by modified induced membrane technique. The bone defect healing rate was 100%; the bone healing time was 6-10 months, with an average of 8.9 months; the infection control rate and successful treatment rate were 90.9% (20/22) and 90.9% (20/22), respectively. At 12 months after operation, according to the satisfaction evaluation standard of skin flap efficacy formulated by ZHANG Hao et al., all were satisfied. According to Johner-Wruhs adjacent joint function method, the limb function recovery was excellent in 13 cases, good in 7 cases, and fair in 2 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 90.9%. Conclusion For the treatment of chronic tibial osteomyelitis in patients with diabetes without vascular occlusion, the modified induced membrane technique and pedicled skin (myocutaneous) flap can repair bone and soft tissue defects, and control the infection at the same time, the short- and medium-term effectiveness are good.

Analysis of Plantar Pressure Pattern after Metatarsal Head Resection. Can Plantar Pressure Predict Diabetic Foot Reulceration? J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10112260. [PMID: 34073670 PMCID: PMC8197093 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10112260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2021] [Revised: 05/21/2021] [Accepted: 05/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
To evaluate the metatarsal head that was associated with the highest plantar pressure after metatarsal head resection (MHR) and the relations with reulceration at one year, a prospective was conducted with a total of sixty-five patients with diabetes who suffered from the first MHR and with an inactive ulcer at the moment of inclusion. Peak plantar pressure and pressure time integral were recorded at five specific locations in the forefoot: first, second, third, fourth, and fifth metatarsal heads. The highest value of the four remaining metatarsals was selected. After resection of the first metatarsal head, there is a displacement of the pressure beneath the second metatarsal head (p < 0.001). Following the resection of the minor metatarsal bones, there was a medial displacement of the plantar pressure. In this way, plantar pressure was displaced under the first metatarsal head following resection of the second or third head (p = 0.001) and under the central heads after resection of the fourth or fifth metatarsal head (p < 0.009 and p < 0.001 respectively). During the one-year follow-up, patients who underwent a metatarsal head resection in the first and second metatarsal heads suffered transfer lesion in the location with the highest pressure. Patients who underwent a minor metatarsal head resection (second–fifth metatarsal heads) showed a medial transference of pressure. Additionally, following the resection of the first metatarsal head there was a transference of pressure beneath the second metatarsal head. Increase of pressure was found to be a predictor of reulceration in cases of resection of the first and second metatarsal heads.

Abstract
This study assessed the clonal diversity, the resistance profile and the virulence potential of Escherichia coli strains isolated from diabetic foot infection (DFI) and diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFOM). A retrospective single-centre study was conducted on patients diagnosed with E. coli isolated from deep DFI and DFOM at Clinique du Pied Diabétique Gard-Occitanie (France) over a two-year period. Phylogenetic backgrounds, virulence factors (VFs) and antibiotic resistance profiles were determined. Whole-genome analysis of E. coli strains isolated from same patients at different periods were performed. From the two-years study period, 35 E. coli strains isolated from 33 patients were analysed; 73% were isolated from DFOM. The majority of the strains belonged to the virulent B2 and D phylogenetic groups (82%). These isolates exhibited a significant higher average of VFs number than strains belonging to other groups (p < 0.001). papG2 gene was significantly more detected in strains belonging to B2 phylogroup isolated from DFI compared to DFOM (p = 0.003). The most prevalent antibiotic resistance pattern was observed for ampicillin (82%), cotrimoxazole (45%), and ciprofloxacin (33%). The genome analysis of strains isolated at two periods in DFOM showed a decrease of the genome size, and this decrease was more important for the strain isolated at nine months (vs. four months). A shared mutation on the putative acyl-CoA dehydrogenase-encoding gene aidB was observed on both strains. E. coli isolates from DFOM were highly genetically diverse with different pathogenicity traits. Their adaptation in the bone structure could require genome reduction and some important modifications in the balance virulence/resistance of the bacteria.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers, complicated by osteomyelitis, can be treated by surgical resection, dead space filling with gentamicin-loaded calcium sulphate-hydroxyapatite (CaS-HA) biocomposite, and closure of soft tissues and skin. To assess the feasibility of this treatment regimen, we conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients after failed conventional treatments. From 13 hospitals we included 64 patients with forefoot (n = 41 (64%)), midfoot (n = 14 (22%)), or hindfoot (n = 9 (14%)) ulcers complicated by osteomyelitis. Median follow-up was 43 (interquartile range, 20–61) weeks. We observed wound healing in 54 patients (84%) and treatment success (wound healing without ulcer recurrence) in 42 patients (66%). Treatment failures (no wound healing or ulcer recurrence) led to minor amputations in four patients (6%) and major amputations in seven patients (11%). Factors associated with treatment failures in univariable Cox regression analysis were gentamicin-resistant osteomyelitis (hazard ratio (HR), 3.847; 95%-confidence interval (CI), 1.065–13.899), hindfoot ulcers (HR, 3.624; 95%-CI, 1.187–11.060) and surgical procedures with gentamicin-loaded CaS-HA biocomposite that involved minor amputations (HR, 3.965; 95%-CI, 1.608–9.777). In this study of patients with diabetic foot ulcers, complicated by osteomyelitis, surgical treatment with gentamicin-loaded CaS-HA biocomposite was feasible and successful in 66% of patients. A prospective trial of this treatment regimen, based on a uniform treatment protocol, is required.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) is a noninvasive and versatile technology that in recent years found acceptance in almost all the medical specialties, with diagnostic and interventional applications. In the diabetic foot syndrome (DFS), US found specific indications mainly in the screening, quantification, and follow-up of the vascular component of the pathology, but also in the study of the deformities and structural modifications induced by neuropathy and in the diagnosis and surgical management of infections, especially those that induce anatomical changes, like abscesses and fasciitis. This review will summarize all these application of US, giving special attention to the vascular aspects, and on the predominant role that US gained in recent times to guide the indication to revascularization, on the new standardized approach to the study of the arterial tree of the limb and the foot, the so-called duplex ultrasound arterial mapping, which significantly increased the utilization of US to plan the revascularizations in this complex pathology. Outside the vascular fields, the diagnosis of neuropathy and infection and the intraoperative use of US in the surgical management of abscesses and fasciitis will be discussed, leaving the last part to the new and interesting applications of US in the management of DFU, a field that is still in evolution, offering new possibilities to the health care professionals involved in the management of these chronic wounds. The variety of applications both in diagnostic and operative fields makes US a rather versatile technology-a toolkit-that should have a special place among those at reach of the specialists of DFS care.

Abstract
To test safety and efficacy of bioactive glass, a novel material used to replace bone, able to completely bond itself to the host tissues on patients treated for osteomyelitis (OM) complicating a diabetic foot (DF). We evaluated a group of patients consecutively admitted in our department between September and December 2018, who underwent surgical DF procedures for OM and in whom the use of bioactive glass could limit the demolition phase of surgical procedure. Patients were treated with bioactive glass S53P4 on top of standard treatment directly in operating room. The patients were weekly controlled for 6 months or until complete healing. During follow-up, we analyzed primarily healing rate and secondarily time of healing, need for further debridement procedures, recurrences, and adverse or hypersensitivity reactions to study treatment. Ten DF patients were enrolled (male/female 6/4; mean age 56 ± 11 years; mean duration of diabetes 10.5 ± 4.7 years, mean hemoglobin A1c 7.2 ± 0.9%). Patients underwent surgical procedure during which, after an accurate debridement, bioactive glass was applied. A healing rate of 80% in a mean time of 34 ± 2 days, with only 1 patient who needed a second surgical look, was observed. Neither recurrences nor adverse events during follow-up were observed in treated patients. This pilot experience demonstrated that bioactive glass can be considered a useful tool for the surgical treatment of DF-related OM.

Abstract
Diabetic foot is the most frequent disorder among the chronic complications of diabetes, happening in 25% of patients. Objective clinical outcome measures are tests or clinical instruments that provide objective values for result measurement. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review of specific objective clinical outcome measures focused on the assessment and monitoring of diabetic foot disorders. The databases used were PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, PEDro, Cochrane, SciELO and EMBASE. Search terms used were foot, ankle, diabet*, diabetic foot, assessment, tools, instruments, objective outcome measures, valid*, reliab*. Because of the current published evidence, diabetic neuropathy assessment via sudomotor analysis, cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease detection by non-invasive electronic devices, wound 3D dimensional measurement, hyperspectral imaging for ulcer prediction and the probe-to-bone test for osteomyelitis diagnosis were highlighted in this study.
