Minimally Invasive Surgery and Diabetes

KEY POINTS - Diabetic foot complications are serious issues, including diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO), and Charcot foot, which often involve infection, deformity, and limb amputation. - Challenges in managing diabetic foot complications impact patient morbidity, health care costs, and quality of life. - Minimally invasive techniques present new opportunities by improving patient care and reducing the health care burden of diabetic foot issues. - This review examines: the effectiveness of MIMOs for DFUs and DFO treatment; their applications in Charcot foot management, and the current evidence supporting their use.
