Introduction
Recognizing the impact of altered biomechanics in contributing to the development and deterioration of diabetic foot ulcerations, we have noted a few pertinent systematic reviews as well as recently published guidelines on offloading interventions in these high-risk populations.
Guidelines on offloading foot ulcers in persons with diabetes (IWGDF 2019 update).
