Abstract
The rate of recurrence for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is 50% at 2 years Armstrong DG, 2017. International recommendations call for regular monitoring to prevent DFU recurrence. We aim to investigate the relation between post-healing follow-up and recurrence rates. The study will begin in November 2021 and end in April 2022; final study results are scheduled for December 2022. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the benefit of the multidisciplinary follow-up of healed DFU patients at the rate of two annual consultations and its impact on foot wound recurrence.
