“…The surgical treatment of these patients is complex and includes various types of interventions such as debridement, Achilles tendon lengthening (reduces the risk of recurrence of ulcers [124,125]) and vascular surgery. Foote et al [126] recently highlighted that this minimally invasive technique is associated with a faster re-covery compared to the classical conservative management represented by immobilization, while improvements in radiological aspects are also targeted.…”

Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is a complication associated with diabetes that has a strong negative impact, both medically and socio-economically. Recent epidemiological data show that one in six patients with diabetes will develop an ulcer in their lifetime. Vascular complications associated with diabetic foot have multiple prognostic implications in addition to limiting functional status and leading to decreased quality of life for these patients. We searched the electronic databases of PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE for studies that evaluated the role of DFS as a cardiovascular risk factor through the pathophysiological mechanisms involved, in particular the inflammatory ones and the associated metabolic changes. In the era of evidence-based medicine, the management of these cases in multidisciplinary teams of “cardio-diabetologists” prevents the occurrence of long-term disabling complications and has prognostic value for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among diabetic patients. Identifying artificial-intelligence-based cardiovascular risk prediction models or conducting extensive clinical trials on gene therapy or potential therapeutic targets promoted by in vitro studies represent future research directions with a modulating role on the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with DFS.

This paper aims to review the various surgical techniques for gastrocnemius–soleus recession and Achilles tendon lengthening, with a special focus on the treatment of clubfoot and cerebral palsy (CP) equinus contracture. This descriptive review article comprehensively explores different techniques for gastrocnemius recession, including the Hoke percutaneous triple hemisection, Baker’s method (Tongue-in-Groove Gastrocnemius–Soleus Recession), the Vulpius method, the Baumann procedure, and the Strayer procedure (Gastrocnemius Recession). The objective is to present a detailed analysis of these methods, covering their indications, procedural nuances, relevance in clinical practice, and outcomes.
