摘要
Neuropathic ulcerations in diabetic patients are frequent causes of hospitalizations and morbidity. The plantar aspect of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is a common location for these ulcerations, because of the significant weightbearing forces generated through this joint and the presence of sensory and motor neuropathy. The authors describe 24 cases in which excision of the tibial sesamoid, fibular sesamoid, or both, was performed to resolve these lesions.
