SURGERY
The goal of surgery is to heal any existing ulcer and/or preventthe development of future
ulcers. Itis achievedbydecreasing focal pressures throughsurgical reductionofassociated
bonyprominence while preservingpedal functionalstability. Surgeryis performed eitherin
response to an ulcer history (prior or current) or as prophylactic surgery to decrease the
probability of developing future ulcers.84 It is also indicated in cases of nonreversible
ischemia resulting inamputation.Surgeryincludes incision anddrainage ofadeepabscess,
debridementofnecrotictissuefortheacuteactiveinfection,ablativewithpartialortotalfoot
and possible leg amputation. Definitive surgery is applied with vascular analysis and
intervention as needed.85 The literature supports the conclusion that diabetes is not a
contraindicationfor prophylacticfoot surgeryand is especiallyworthconsidering for those
patientswhocannotbeaccommodatedbyfootwearmodificationsandrelatedorthoses.

CONCLUSION
The literature consistently demonstrates that the pedal complications of diabetes are
significant,withtheultimategoalofpreventionoffootulcers.Thetreatmentofdiabeticfoot
ulcersisbestaccomplishedbyutilizingamultidisciplinaryteam.Theprimarycaredoctoris
key in coordinating the integration of the necessary specialists in the management of the
ulcerated patient. Members of the “team approach” may include physicians in any of the
following specialties: family practice, internal medicine, endocrinology, infectious disease,
neurology, radiology and imaging, vascular disease, podiatrists/orthopedics, orthotics and
prosthetics,andothersasnecessary.

THELUMBARSPINEANDCAUDAEQUINA
LumbarSpineAnatomy
BoneandSoftTissue
The lumbar spine exhibits a normal lordosis starting at L1. As the patient bends forward,
reducing the lordosis, the spinal canal straightens, giving more room to the cord, often
alleviatingsymptomsinpatientswithlumbarspinalstenosis.
The vertebral body sits anterior to thespinal cord, supported by an intervertebral disc
consistingofasoftnucleuspulposusandathickannulusfibrosis.Thediscslowlydesiccates
over time, leading to height loss, and in combination with trauma, obesity, and genetic
predispositioncanleadtolumbardischerniationmorefrequentlyatL4–L5,L5–S1.

There are five lumbar vertebrae. For each vertebra, the pedicle extends laterally and
posteriorlyonbothsides,formingthemarginoftheintervertebralforamen(e.g.,theL1pedicle

The supraspinous ligament covers the spinous processes and interspinous ligament
posteriorly. The interspinous ligament fills the space between the spinous processes. The
ligamentum flavum covers the spinous processes and interspinous ligament anteriorly. The

Infectious complications,including epiduralabscess, meningitis,
discitis, and osteomyelitis, are about 1% to 2%.12 The incidence of epidural hematoma is
about 1 per 150,000 and increases to 2% in patients using anticoagulants.13 Ideally, oral
anticoagulationshouldbediscontinued,andprothrombintimenormalized.Thisusuallytakes1

EpiduralAnesthesia
Epidural anesthesia can lead to dural puncture in 0.4% to 6% of patients when used in a
variety of abdominal and lower extremity surgeries.17 A persistent CSF leak after dural
puncture canlead toapostural headachealleviatedwithrecumbence.There is noevidence
correlatingthelengthofpostpuncturerecumbencetoincidenceofpostduralpunctureheadache.
However,thereisanassociationwithneedlegauge(11%to28%with20gauge,3%to25%
with25gauge,3%to8%with26gauge,and0%to2%with29gauge).18Incasesofpersistent
