Description
Guan-Qiao Liu and eight co-authors compare two causes of heel bone infection in a 2023 review. Bone infection in the heel arises either from diabetes or from injury. The two forms look similar but may differ in patients, course, and treatment response.
The review pools 681 reported cases from over a hundred studies published since 2000. Diabetes-related cases numbered 278 and trauma-related cases 403. Women formed a larger share of the diabetes group, and those patients were older at diagnosis. Their symptoms also lasted longer before diagnosis, a median of four months versus two. Comparing the groups sharpens diagnosis and treatment planning. Surgeons and diabetes teams can watch for the patterns this synthesis exposes.
