Abstract:[Objective] To explore the clinical outcomes of tibia transverse transport (TTT) for diabetic foot accompanied with sepsis or septic shock. [Methods] A retrospective study was conducted on 77 patients who received treatments for severe diabetic foot complicated with sepsis or septic shock in our hospital from April 2015 to August 2020. First of all, all the patients received treatments of anti-shock, im- provement of general condition with sensitive antibiotics, and local debridement. Subsequently, 45 patients were treated with TTT, while the remaining 32 patients were with traditional treatment according to the doctor-patient communication. The documents regarding clinical con- dition and auxiliary examination were compared between the two groups. [Results] The TTT group proved significantly superior to the tradi- tional group in terms of hospital stay [(21.8±7.6) days vs (28.6±12.0) days, P=0.007], debridement times [(2.1±0.5) times vs (3.5±1.0) times, P<0.001], dressing change times [(19.7±7.5) times vs (25.1±11.1) times, P=0.013], wound area at discharge [(68.2±27.4) cm2 vs (105.2±20.5) cm2 , P=0.003], amputation rate during hospitalization [8(17.8%) vs 15(46.9%), P=0.006] and mortality in hospital [1(2.2%) vs 7 (21.9%), P= 0.005]. The follow-up period was 1~72 months with an average of (20.4±15.8) months. At the final follow-up, 8 (22.2%) patients in the TTT group and 6 (60%) patients in the traditional group died; the difference was statistically significant (P=0.022). And 26 (72.2%) patients in the TTT group while no patients (0%) in the traditional group were salvageable; the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). At the final follow-up, PCS score [(43.5±3.4) vs (40.6±2.1), P=0.043] and MCS score [(46.4±3.6) vs (36.5±2.4), P<0.001] in the TTT group were sig- nificantly higher than those in the traditional group. As time went by, PCS score and MCS score in both groups were significantly higher than before treatment (P<0.05). As for auxiliary examination, WBC, PCT, CRP, ESR, and IL-6 in both groups were significantly decreased over time (P<0.05). At discharge, WBC, PCT, CRP, ESR, and IL-6 of limb salvage patients in TTT group were significantly lower than those in traditional group (P<0.05). The CTA angiography in the TTT group at discharge was significantly better than that in the traditional group (P< 0.05), and the CTA angiography in the TTT group at the last follow-up was significantly better than that at discharge (P<0.05). [Conclusion] Compared with traditional therapy, TTT treatment for severe diabetic foot complicated with sepsis or septic shock can significantly improve the wound healing rate, reduce the amputation rate and mortality, relieve pain, improve the function of affected limb, and improve the quality of life.
