Flexor Tenotomy and Ulcer Recurrence

Foot Ulcer, Diabetic Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Efficacy of Flexor Tenotomy on the Prevention of Recurrent Diabetic Foot Ulcers: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial 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.

Clinical Trial Description

Foot ulcers are a frequent problem in patients with diabetes mellitus and can lead to amputations. Prevention of these ulcers is therefore of paramount importance. Claw/hammer toe deformity is commonly seen in patients with diabetes. These deformities increase the risk of ulcer development specifically at the (apex of) the toe. Tenotomy of the tendon of the flexor muscles of the toes (tendon tenotomy) can be used to treat the consequences of claw/hammer toe deformity with the goal to prevent ulcer recurrence. For indication and assessment of outcomes of flexor tenotomy, weight-bearing CT and dynamic barefoot plantar pressure measurement can be used. This mono-center investigator blinded randomized controlled trial will compare the flexor tenotomy with usual care (including orthoses and shoe offloading). The effect on ulcer recurrence, toe joint angles, barefoot plantar pressure and quality of life will be assessed and compared between the intervention and control group. ;
