Dramatic Reduction in Amputation/Death in Dialysis Patients Receiving Podiatric Care 


 


Tze Woei Tan, USC Vascular Surgeon, and David G. Armstrong, Professor of Surgery and Director of the Southwestern Academic Limb Salvage Alliance at USC were first and second authors of a study evaluating the role of podiatry in people on dialysis. The study, the first of its kind, evaluated more than 50,000 patients. 


 













Dr. David Armstrong



 


Those that received podiatric care prior to developing a diabetic foot ulcer were approximately 18% less likely to die or have an amputation over four years of study follow-up. Dr. Tan was awarded this year's Marvin Levin Award for top oral abstract in the lower extremity diabetes session. Dr. Tan is a recipient of an NIH K23 Career Development award focusing on limb preservation in high-risk communities, on which Dr. Armstrong serves as a mentor.
