A single-centre outcomes study evaluating the incidence, risk factors and treatment results of a podiatry-led diabetic foot ulcer clinic — demonstrating the effectiveness of specialist-led multidisciplinary care in achieving healing and preventing amputation.

A comprehensive review of total contact casting — the gold standard offloading treatment for diabetic neuropathic foot ulcers — examining clinical evidence for its effectiveness while identifying risk factors and contraindications for practice.

A clinical case presentation and literature review of calciphylaxis — a rare, life-threatening condition involving pathological calcification of small blood vessels. Covers diagnosis, management strategies and wound care implications in the podiatric context.

Published in PLoS ONE, this study investigates bacterial profiles and antibiotic resistance patterns in diabetic foot ulcers, identifying dominant pathogens and infection indicators to guide evidence-based treatment protocols and improve clinical outcomes.

Examines the practical and clinical challenges encountered when using ambulatory vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy in the management of diabetic foot ulceration — highlighting how advanced wound technology introduces new demands alongside its benefits.

Reviews leg length discrepancy (LLD) and its biomechanical influence on the foot, exploring how even small amounts of lower extremity asymmetry may contribute to plantar ulceration in patients with neuropathic or vascularly compromised diabetic feet.
