Flexor Tenotomy and Ulcer Recurrence
Sponsor: Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA)
Summary
The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of flexor tenotomy on the prevention of recurrence of toe ulcers in people with diabetes and a history of toe ulceration. Additionally, the investigators aim to assess interphalangeal joints (IPJ) and metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) angles in a weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing position, bare-foot plantar pressure during walking and quality of life before and after the intervention and compare between study groups.
