Every year thousands of people have to come to terms with losing a part of their body they rely on every single day. Failure to notice foot wounds due to loss of feeling and failure to act quickly to get treatment leads to dangerous infections and serious medical complications.
Fifty percent of all foot amputations occur as a result of diabetes and if you have diabetes, you are 30 times more likely to have an amputation than someone without diabetes. Each week, there are more than 2,000 diabetes-related amputations in the U.S., and everyone who has a lower limb amputated is 80% more likely to die in the next five years.
The good news in all this bad news is that four out of five amputations can be prevented if properly diagnosed and effectively treated in a timely way. earn more about diabetic foot and ankle wounds. Get in touch with Oklahoma Foot and Ankle Specialists today!

"My surgeon is doctor Cavallaro. He is a very good doctor. He goes the extra mile for his patients and spends the time with each one. I would recommend him and Dr. Le. The staff at both clinics is amazing. I enjoy them very much."
