Management of diabetic foot and limb preservation

The Comprehensive Wound and Limb Preservation Center is a foot and ankle wound care program through Outpatient Services at Hospital Baylor Scott & White The Heart - Plano. This specialized hospital department treats foot and ankle non-healing wounds with an emphasis on the diabetic foot ulcer. The multidisciplinary team is led by our regional medical director who is board-certified as a podiatric surgeon and wound care physician. The Comprehensive Wound and Limb Preservation Center in Plano provides both medical and surgical wound healing interventions.

El Centro está dedicado a la preservación funcional de la extremidad inferior. Su misión es prevenir amputaciones mayores mediante la rápida cicatrización de heridas siguiendo una medicina basada en evidencia e investigaciones comprobadas. Los resultados de calidad para los pacientes, a través de tasas de curación mensurables, son significativamente mejores que el promedio nacional, especialmente para las úlceras del pie diabético.

The scope of our Plano's Comprehensive Wound and Limb Preservation Center goes far beyond chronic wound care. A comprehensive approach is used to prevent wound development through surveillance, education, and dietitian services.
