Abstract

In this podcast the lead authors of the 2023 International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) guideline on offloading treatments for diabetes-related foot ulcers briefly discuss why we need offloading treatments for people with diabetes-related foot ulcers, what the new international offloading guideline recommends, and where offloading treatment might go into the future.
A podcast audio is available with this article.
