Abstract:[Objective] To compare the clinical consequences of tibial periosteum transportation (TPOT) versus tibial cortical bonetransportation (TCBT) in the treatment of diabetic foot. [Methods] A retrospective study was conduced on 78 patients who received TPOTor TCBT for diabetic foot in our hospital from 2018 to 2023. According to preoperative communication between doctors and patients, 39 pa-tients were treated with TPOT, while the other 39 patients received TCBT. The perioperative period, follow-up and auxiliary examinationdata of the two groups were compared. [Results] All patients in both groups had operation performed successfully. The TPOT group provedsignificantly superior to the TCBT group in terms of operation time [(26.5±4.4) min vs (52.4±7.2) min, P<0.001], intraoperative blood loss[(30.2±11.4) mL vs (81.0±22.4) mL, P<0.001], and hospital stay [(11.9±2.1) days vs (13.3±3.5) days, P=0.044]. However, there was no sig-nificant difference in wound debridement times, dressing times and wound area between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with that at ad-mission, the wound area in both groups was significantly reduced at discharge (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in wound heal-ing time between the two groups (P>0.05). At 12 weeks after treatment, the VAS score and foot dorsal skin temperature were significantlyimproved in both groups (P<0.05), whereas which were not significantly different between the two groups at any time points accordingly (P>0.05). At 12 weeks after treatment, the WBC, CRP and ESR in both groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05), which proved not statisti-cally significant between two groups at any matching time points (P>0.05). [Conclusion] Both tibial periosteum transportation and tibialcortical bone transportation do accelerate the wound healing of diabetic foot by stimulating vascular microcirculation reconstruction,achieve comparable clinical outcomes. In comparison, the tibial periosteum transportation takes considerable advantages in shortening oper-ation time, reducing iatrogenic trauma, and declining surgical difficulty over the tibial cortical bone transportation.
