About this event
During one of BONESUPPORTs webinars, Dr. Victor Anciano from Louisville, Kentucky asked: Did you know...
➡️... 60% of Diabetic Foot Ulcers are complicated by infection 1.
➡️... 90% of the Diabetic Foot Infections that progress to osteomyelitis occur in the forefoot 2.
These statistics highlight the importance of early recognition and a multidisciplinary approach to diabetic foot care.
🩺According to Dr Anciano, comprehensive treatment involves:
• CERAMENT® G • IV antibiotic therapy
• Advanced wound care
• Vascular evaluation
• Surgical intervention when necessary
Each patient presents a unique challenge, and timely intervention is key to preventing serious complications, including amputation.
