Abstract

To investigate the clinical effect of fibula transverse transport technique in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer. Nine patients (7 males and 2 females) with diabetic foot ulcer were treated with fibula transverse transport technique from September 2017 to September 2020. The mean age was (55±9) years (ranged from 43 to 66 years). In terms of Wagner classification, 2 cases were in grade 2, 5 cases were in grade 3, and the other 2 cases were in grade 4. All of the cases involved ischemic ulcers or ischemic-nerve ulcers. The transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) of the dorsal foot of the affected limb was measured, with the ulcer healing and TcPO2 changes recorded at follow-up. All the 9 patients were followed up for (23±12) months (3 to 38 months). It was found that all patients with foot ulcers were cured within (4.2±1.9) months (2 to 8 months), and all the patients obtained limb salvage. Besides, there was no serious complications occurred, such as skin necrosis and needle tract infection. Before the operation, the TcPO2 of the affected foot was (28.6±3.8) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), while it was (35.0±5.6) mmHg three months after operation (P<0.05). The technique of fibula transverse transport can effectively improve the microcirculation function of diabetic foot, and it can promote the healing of the ulcer with few complications.

探讨应用腓骨横向骨搬移技术治疗糖尿病足溃疡的临床疗效。2017年9月至2020年9月应用腓骨横向骨搬移技术治疗糖尿病足溃疡患者9例,男7例,女2例,年龄43~66(55±9)岁,Wagner分级:2级2例、3级5例、4级2例,均为缺血性溃疡或缺血-神经性溃疡,检测患肢足背经皮氧分压(TcPO2),并随访记录溃疡愈合及TcPO2变化情况。9例均获得随访,随访时间3~38(23±12)个月,患足溃疡均愈合,愈合时间2~8(4.2±1.9)个月,均获得保肢,未出现皮肤坏死、针道感染等严重并发症,术前患足TcPO2为(28.6±3.8)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),术后3个月为(35.0±5.6)mmHg,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结果发现腓骨横向骨搬移技术可有效改善糖尿病足微循环功能,促进溃疡愈合,且操作简便、并发症少。.
