Summary

This study tests a device that moves a small piece of shinbone to improve blood flow and help heal chronic foot ulcers in people with diabetes. One hundred adults with stubborn ulcers that haven't healed after 12 weeks will be enrolled. The goal is to see if this procedure, added to standard wound care, leads to more complete wound healing compared to standard care alone.
