Bone marrow quality during foot or ankle surgery

This trial tests a surgery that uses a special technique to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. The surgery may help your foot heal and avoid more serious problems.
This study is looking for people with diabetes who have an open foot or ankle ulcer. Researchers want to collect samples to find biomarkers, which are natural signs in the body that could help improve treatment and healing. It may be a good fit if you have a diabetic foot ulcer and are not currently in another drug trial for ulcers.
This study looks at what factors affect outcomes in adults with diabetic foot ulcers. It may help doctors better predict healing and complications by better understanding what influences progress.
This trial tests whether a surgical technique called transverse tibial bone transport (TTT) can help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers. TTT involves moving a small piece of the shinbone to encourage new blood vessels to grow to the wound, which may help it close.
This trial tests whether stem cells taken from your own fat tissue can help heal foot ulcers caused by diabetes. The cells are applied to the wound, and the goal is to see if they improve healing and are safe.
This study tests whether an exercise program can help wounds (ulcers) heal faster in people with diabetic foot ulcers. It mainly looks for adults with type 2 diabetes and enough blood flow to the foot, and checks safety and healing progress.
