| description | Abstract Objective This study aims to assess the significance of monitoring temperature change trends at various wound sites in the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers after microcirculation reconstruction surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on individuals with diabetic foot ulcers who had been admitted to the Department of Orthopedics at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between July 2020 and February 2022. Temperature changes were regularly monitored at the center of the wound and the distal tibia of the ipsilateral lower leg to assess microcirculatory blood perfusion. Wound, ischemia, and foot infection (WIFi) grading was performed at admission and the final follow-up was to determine the value of temperature monitoring at various sites. Additionally, the formation of collateral microarterial vessels was monitored to determine their consistency with the observed trends in temperature differences. Follow-up assessments included the recurrence of ulcers, development of ulcers at different locations, re-amputation of the toe or limb, and diabetes-related mortality. Results A total of 29 patients were included in the follow-up, with an average age of 57.14 ± 14.75 years and a follow-up period of 9.79 ± 4.13 months. Following microcirculation reconstruction surgery, as the microvascular network formed, the temperature difference between the center of the wound and the distal tibia on the same side gradually decreased, with no statistical difference observed at 4 weeks postoperatively. At both admission and the final follow-up, there was a significant reduction in the wound (W) and ischemia (I) grades within the WIFi classification. The temperature at the wound center showed progressive improvement as collateral microarterial vessels developed. During the follow-up period, there were 2 cases of ulcer recurrence, 1 case of an ulcer appearing at a different location, no cases of re-amputation of the toe or limb, and 2 diabetes-related fatalities. Conclusion Skin temperature monitoring offers a direct and reliable indication of microcirculatory blood perfusion. Its simplicity and cost-effectiveness make it a valuable tool for widespread use in evaluating wound healing following microcirculation reconstruction surgery. |
