Masterclass: Diabetic Foot Ulcer with Bone Infection

Dr. Heinz Winkler Q & A: Diabetic Foot Ulcer with Bone Infection

From a surgical perspective, how complicated is the surgery to treat a diabetic foot ulcer with bone infection using OSTEOmycin™ ? 

Typically, how long is the surgical procedure time? 

Given the surgical time is quite short for a forefoot infection, it seems possible to perform multiple surgeries on the same day? 

Do you know how many patients you have treated with this technique?

Once the infection is treated, does the condition reoccur? 

Why would a patient choose this procedure over an amputation? 

Is there a particular message to patients and healthcare professionals treating this condition? 

Thinking about the polymicrobial nature of the infective organisms, is there a recommendation for surgeons when treating this condition? 

Is there an average amount of OSTEOmycin required to treat this condition?
