abstract：:Diabetic neuropathic ulcers are thought to arise from repetitive injury during normal walking in areas of high plantar pressures. It has been suggested that metatarsal head (MTH) resection alleviates elevated pressures at the site of the ulcer and, thus, expedites healing and prevents recurrence. We investigated the e...
