Why is diabetic foot surgery necessary?

Diabetic foot surgery is necessary to address conditions that can arise from diabetes, such as non-healing ulcers, infections, bone problems, and deformities. Surgery aims to promote healing, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.

Diabetic foot surgery can help prevent further complications by addressing current issues, but ongoing foot care, diabetes management, and a healthy lifestyle are essential for long-term prevention.
