cantly impact 1-year outcomes and was therefore not
included as a predictor of increased clinical risk. Despite the
isolated PREVENT III ndings showing comparable results
for distal bypass, patients with infrapopliteal targets or who
lack high quality venous conduit should be considered “anatomic high risk” [114]. This anatomic risk classication
arose from the observation that patients undergoing infrapopliteal bypass had lower rates of freedom from major
adverse limb events (MALE) (74% vs. 81%, p = 0.004).
These events include above ankle amputation or major reintervention at 1-year follow-up or perioperative death.
However, there were no differences in mortality or
amputation- free survival at 1-year follow-up based on anatomic risk criteria. Taken together, these data suggest that
diabetes is unlikely to impart an independent risk of worse
outcomes following bypass surgery. Distal bypass is very
common in diabetics and is a highly technically challenging
surgical procedure. As a result, there is a moderately
increased risk of complications in patients undergoing distal
bypass, but no difference in limb salvage or mortality.
Technical precision in the performance of tibial and pedal
bypass in the diabetic population is absolutely essential to
success. A review of arteriograms at our institution imaging
the entire lower extremity circulation in patients evaluated
for revascularization demonstrated that in 10% of cases a
pedal vessel, usually the dorsalis pedis, is the only suitable
outow. In another 15% of patients, the dorsalis pedis
appears to be a better-quality outow target than other patent
but diseased tibial vessels. As a result, we began performing
bypasses to the dorsalis pedis artery for limb preservation in
situations where no more proximal bypass option existed
[118]. We have reported our experience with vein bypass
grafts to the dorsalis pedis artery in excess of 1000 procedures with follow up extending beyond 10years [66]. At
5years, graft patency was 63% and limb salvage was 78%;

however, patient survival was less than 50%. Approximately
60% of patients requiring pedal bypass present with some
degree of foot infection, and this raises concerns about placing an arterial graft in such close proximity to infected tissues. This, however, has not proved hazardous provided that
active, spreading sepsis is controlled prior to surgery [119].
Our results have compared favorably with other reports of
pedal level arterial reconstruction and are comparable to or
better than results now routinely reported for popliteal and
tibial artery reconstructions [83, 120–124] [Fig. 24.15].
In advanced cases of distal ischemia, or in cases of failed
pedal bypass, patients may have no available outow vessel
other than the lateral tarsal branch of the dorsalis pedis artery
or the lateral or medial plantar branches of the posterior tibial artery [Fig. 24.17]. In our series of 98 tarsal and plantar
bypasses, 30-day mortality was 1% and early graft failure,
within 30days, occurred in 11%. In this group, secondary
graft patency was 70% at 1year and 50% at 5years. Limb
salvage was nearly 70% at 5years [125]. These results are
encouraging regarding limb salvage in a group of patients
that are all too often advised that limb amputation is the only
option by physicians who do not consider extreme distal
bypass as a treatment option [Fig. 24.18].
Young patients with juvenile onset Type 1 diabetes mellitus may develop ischemic foot complications from premature atherosclerosis. In distinction to older patients,
atherosclerosis in this group is rapidly progressive and associated with a worse prognosis [3, 119, 126]. Younger patients
undergoing revascularization have been found to be at
increased risk for perioperative complications, have an
increased rate of multiple revascularization procedures, and
have more frequent progression to extremity amputation. We
reviewed all patients under 40years of age who underwent
infrainguinal revascularization at our institution from 1990
to 2000 [127]. Fifty-one patients undergoing 76 lower

extremity revascularizations were identied. Type 1 diabetes
mellitus was very prevalent, affecting over 94% of patients.
During the follow-up period, 11.8% of patients required
additional ipsilateral revascularization, 31.3% required a
contralateral bypass graft, and in 23.5% major amputation
was ultimately necessary. The success rate for secondary
procedures was marginal when compared to the primary procedures. The primary patency rate, secondary patency rate,
and limb salvage rates were 66.7%, 62.5%, and 77.8%
respectively at 1year and 44.4%, 41.7%, and 64.8% respectively, at 5years. Long term survival was 75% at 5years. The
results are inferior to those of our older patients where graft

patency and limb salvage approach 80% and 90% at 5years.
The worse outcomes may be due to a more aggressive and
rapidly progressive form of atherosclerosis or may be a consequence of the relatively high incidence of dialysisdependent renal failure in these patients. Like patients on
chronic hemodialysis, the observed results are inferior to
more “typical” patients and attempts to salvage failed reconstructions were rarely successful. These facts must be discussed frankly with the patient prior to initiating therapy, and
treatment should be individualized based on the clinical situation with the realization that, for some patients, amputation
may be the best rst treatment.
Chronic kidney disease is a complication of longstanding
diabetes. As a result, vascular surgeons are often confronted
with revascularization decisions in patients with diabetes and
ESRD. In the past, patients on hemodialysis have been
deemed to be at too a high risk for surgical bypass. In 2002,
we reported our experience with 146 ESRD patients undergoing lower extremity bypass in 177 limbs [28]. Notably,
92% of the study population had comorbid diabetes mellitus
and the cause for hemodialysis was DM in 88%. The 30-day
mortality rate was found to be 5%, reecting acceptable perioperative safety. However, overall survival rates at 1, 3, and
5 years were 60%, 18%, and 5%. Despite this, the 3-year
limb salvage rate was 80% suggesting that patients died from
causes unrelated to the status of the bypass. Multivariable
analysis identied age and number of years on dialysis as
predictive of worse outcomes. Similar single center studies
have demonstrated comparable survival and limb salvage
rates [42]. Subsequently, a meta-analysis of infrainguinal
bypass in more than 1000 ESRD patients was performed
[128]. The perioperative mortality rate was found to be 8.8%.
The estimated 5-year primary patency rate was 50.4%, secondary patency 50.8%, limb salvage 66.6%, and overall survival 27.5%. In patients with ESRD, bypass can result in
limb salvage, but limited overall survival is to be expected.
Recommendations
For diabetic patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia,
we believe the WIfI system should be used to assign an initial stage of disease [9]. If limb salvage is attempted, then
wound care, infection control, and revascularization are all
essential. A diagnostic arteriogram will allow evaluation of
anatomic disease distribution using the GLASS classication to plan for endovascular or surgical intervention. An
individualized approach should be used to choose whether to
initially pursue endovascular or open surgical treatment,
accounting for patient risk, limb severity, anatomy, and durability of revascularization required. In general, BEST-CLI
conrms that surgical bypass is preferred in patients with
good quality greater saphenous vein conduit and life expec-
tancy ≥2 years. Bypass is also favored for advanced WIfI
stage and/or multi-level or extensive occlusive disease.
Endovascular therapy is preferable in patients with high surgical risk and limited life expectancy. Endovascular techniques are also more appropriate when high quality vein
conduit is unavailable and when the occlusion or stenosis is
at a single level. Future studies on revascularization for CLTI
should similarly account for WifI and GLASS staging to
allow for accurate comparison of outcomes in this complex,
heterogeneous patient population.
Despite the fact that the prevalence of diabetes has
increased markedly in recent years, improvements in revascularization techniques and increased utilization of preventative care have resulted in a dramatic decrease in the rate of
lower extremity amputations [129]. In order to maintain this
trend, vascular disease specialists must be procient in all
forms of revascularization. The breadth of endovascular and
surgical options for limb salvage in the diabetic patient has
expanded to the point where treatment plans are highly individualized and combinations of techniques are common.

Abstract
The diabetic foot syndrome of vasculopathy, neuropathy,
foot ulceration, and deformity can be surgically challenging
to the reconstructive surgeon. Primary objectives are to
achieve joint stability, restore function, and improve appearance. Within the overall scope of surgical management, soft
tissue reconstructive surgeons play an essential role in
wound care, debridement, and ap surgery for coverage for
non-healing wounds. Soft tissue decits must be closed to
protect underlying structures from infection. Adequate
blood ow and debridement of wounds down to clean
healthy tissue are mandatory before reconstruction. During
soft tissue reconstruction, tightness of closure, depth and
location of defect, bulkiness of donor aps, and donor site
morbidity are carefully considered. Given the multi-faceted
etiology of the diabetic foot and the complexities involved
in managing non-healing wounds, a team approach is critical to the success of diabetic limb reconstruction. This chapter focuses on wound assessment, adequate debridement,
and the various options for wound closure or coverage
involved in soft tissue reconstruction of the diabetic foot.
Introduction
The diabetic foot syndrome manifests as a constellation of
diabetes related-disease processes resulting in peripheral
neuropathies, peripheral arterial disease, ulcer, infections,
osteopenia, Charcot arthropathy, and amputation. An estimated 1.6 million people were living with the loss of a limb
in 2005, and this number is projected to at least double by
2050 [1, 2]. Around 85% of diabetes-related amputations are
preceded by an ulcer [3, 4].

The multifactorial causes of diabetic foot syndrome
necessitate the need for a multidisciplinary team to treat and
manage complications. A primary care physician and endocrinologist should be involved for primary and preventative
management of the diabetic foot. For complications ranging
from ulcerations to the need for salvage, involvement of
infectious disease specialists, podiatrists, vascular surgeons,
orthopedic surgeons, and plastic surgeons has been shown to
improve ulcer healing, amputation rates, and quality of life
[5, 6]. Advances in endovascular interventions and Charcot
neuroarthropathy reconstruction approaches also have contributed immensely to improved outcomes and reduced surgical risks [7–9]. This chapter will focus on soft tissue
reconstructive approaches for the diabetic foot.
Early Diagnosis
Diabetic foot wounds occur after repetitive injury to an
insensate and biomechanically unstable foot. The combination of inadequate blood ow, ineffective immune system,
and impaired wound healing leads to higher risk of an acute
wound conversion to a chronic one. Thus, an earlier diagnosis with assessment of risk factors is vital in inhibiting its
progression [10]. Unfortunately, many late-progression cases
end up requiring soft tissue reconstruction, in which most
can be accomplished with simple techniques and roughly
10% with complex ap reconstruction.
Pre-operative Assessment
The rst step in soft tissue management of a diabetic foot
wound includes assessment of wound features and blood ow
to the foot. Evidence of infected or necrotic tissue warrants
urgent or emergent excisional debridement until a clean and
healthy wound base is established. Prompt and aggressive surgical intervention have been to found to decrease length of hospital stay and need for higher amputation levels [11]. Active

infection in the form of cellulitis or osteomyelitis should also
ideally be treated with culture-guided antibiotic therapy, with
involvement of infectious disease specialists. The depth of the
appropriately debrided wound should then be assessed with the
determination of exposed tissue structures, as well as missing
structures that may result in tendon imbalances, post-operative
foot deformities, and pressures ulcers [12]. Negative pressure
wound therapy can be used to shorten healing time and time to
denitive reconstruction if needed [13].
Appropriate wound healing requires sufcient blood supply which can primarily be assessed with palpation of distal
pulses and the ankle-brachial index. Doppler ultrasonography
has become a standardized approach to evaluate the arterial
tree of the limb and foot [14, 15]. Questionable blood ow
necessitates the need for a formal arteriogram or CT angiogram, especially when planning for ap reconstruction.
There should be a low threshold for consultation with a vascular surgeon regarding pre-reconstruction revascularization
to optimize post-operative healing and prevent amputation.
Screening for neuropathy is also an essential part of the preoperative assessment. Loss of protective sensation, dened as a
pressure threshold of 10 g of force perpendicular to the skin
(5.07 Semmes-Weinstein monolament), can progress to biomechanical changes in the foot and ankle. Loss of motor and
autonomic components of nerves in diabetic peripheral neuropathy results in atrophy of intrinsic muscles and anhidrosis [16].
Repetitive undetected trauma will gradually lead to permanent
degenerative changes and deformities, also known as a Charcot
foot, although other theories including increased bone resorption and a chronic inammatory state have been proposed [17].
Sensory testing with monolaments should include at least ten
sites of the foot for improved sensitivity and specicity, while
testing with a tuning fork should be performed at the lateral malleolus and rst metatarsal head [18, 19]. The etiology of
diabetes- associated neuropathies is typically related to microvascular damage starting peripherally in a stocking- glove distribution; however, there are less common presentations such as
radiculopathies that follow a dermatomal distribution [20].
Achieving Adequate Debridement
Indications
Debridement is a major component of wound management
and is dened as the removal of necrotic material, eschar,
devitalized tissue, slough, pus, hematomas, foreign bodies,
debris, bone fragments, or bioburden from a wound with the
objective to promote wound healing [21]. A wound with good
vascular supply can support more aggressive debridement,
while wounds with reduced vascular supply should be considered for revascularization prior to debridement. Concerns
for underlying infection warrant urgent debridement regardless of vascular supply status to remove sources of sepsis and
decrease bacterial burden causing local infection [22].
Techniques
Debridement techniques can be temporarily staged or used
in combination (Table25.1). Sharp surgical debridement can
be performed as a clinic procedure or the operating room

depending on how extensive of a debridement procedure is
required. Nonviable tissue should be removed down to bleeding tissue, restarting the phases of wound healing with a new
acute wound. For more supercial wounds, wet-to-dry dressings can be used to facilitate initial wound management,
ongoing gentle debridement, or healing by secondary intention. General limitations include frequent (at least once
daily) dressing changes and associated pain.
Aqueous high-pressure lavage utilizes jet streams of
water or saline solution for debridement while concurrently
irrigating the wound. For grossly contaminated wounds, the
lavage solution can be combined with diluted antiseptics
such as povidone-iodine. Ultrasound-assisted wound
debridement can be used as an alternative, although more
costly than simple excisional debridement [23–25].
Ultrasonic energy is delivered through direct contact with the
wound bed or through an atomized solution, allowing the
removal of non-viable tissue and biolm without damaging
healthy tissue. It has been shown to reduce bacterial load,
increase healing rate, and reduce wound size over a 6-week
treatment period [26–28]. Lastly, larval therapy is reemerging as a form of mechanical debridement particularly
for non-surgical candidates with chronic intractable wounds
infected with antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria [29, 30].
Larvae are applied in loose or biobag form and should not be
used in wounds with exposed neurovascular structures.
Autolytic debridement utilizes occlusive or semi- occlusive
moist dressings, such as hydrogels and hydrocolloids, to create a moist wound environment that is optimized for endogenous proteolytic enzymes and macrophage activity. This
method of debridement is relatively slow and is typically
reserved as a pre-debridement measure for non- infected
wounds with only small amounts of non-viable tissue.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Since its rst application in clinical practice in 1993, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been widely utilized for various acute and chronic wounds, including
diabetic foot ulcers. NPWT promotes wound healing by
removing bacterial products, reducing edema, approximating wound edges, and facilitating granulation tissue proliferation. Multiple committees, including the Tucson Expert
Consensus Conference on V.A.C. Therapy and the Tissue
Repair of Burns and Trauma Committee, have provided
evidence- based guidelines for the best clinical applications
to support formation of standardized treatment schemes [31–
34]. This includes use of NPWT only after infection, bleed-
ing, and ischemia are controlled with an ankle-brachial-index
range of 0.9–1.3. The recommended pressure range is
between −80 and −125mmHg [35]. NPWT dressings should
be replaced every 3–5 days to prevent granulation tissue
growing into the foam material, and a comprehensive evaluation of its effects should be conducted every few weeks.
Continuous mode is most commonly used as intermittent
pressure therapy can cause signicant pain from tissue deformation that occurs with every on-off cycle.
In addition to adequately debrided wounds, there are
many other applications of NPWT for complex diabetic foot
wounds [13]. If bone or tendon are exposed, NPWT can promote granulation tissue formation in preparation for a skin
ap or skin graft. Wounds with osteomyelitis but adequately
debrided soft tissue can temporarily be treated with NPWT
while systemic antibiotic therapy is allowed to take effect.
Close observation is required during dressing changes for
local infection, in which NPWT should be stopped or
resumed after debridement. NPWT is also used after skin
graft or dermal equivalent graft surgery to immobilize the
graft, promote vascularization, and manage wound exudate.
Soft Tissue Reconstruction
Soft tissue reconstruction of the diabetic foot follows the
principles of the reconstructive ladder. This includes a variety of techniques including primary closure, skin grafting,
local or regional aps, and free tissue transfer. Closure is ideally achieved by the simplest effective technique. This section will review the spectrum of closure options available for
the diabetic foot. Additionally, reconstructive approaches
will be discussed based on location of the defect, as there are
many biomechanical considerations of each part of the foot
that ultimately affect selection of the closure modality.
Once the soft tissue defect has been adequately debrided
and granulation tissue is forming, the wound can be assessed
for closure. Signs of decreasing wound inammation,
marked by the subsidence of key inammatory signs “rubor”
(redness), “calor” (heat), “tumor” (swelling), and “dolor”
(pain), indicate wound readiness for closure [36]. Wrinkling
of skin around the defect correlates with resolution of inammation and is accompanied by a reduction of pain, swelling,
and induration.
Secondary Intention andDelayed Primary
Closure
Primary closure is rarely utilized but can be considered if there
is skin redundancy, and limited dead space. Wound readiness
must be carefully considered, as well as tension on the closure.
In the setting of baseline ischemia, primary closure under tension can threaten the viability of the foot as a whole.
Secondary intention is the simplest form of wound closure in the reconstructive ladder and can be coupled with
NPWT, synthetic skin substitutes, growth factors, or hyper-
