Advanced Limb-Saving Care for Diabetic Foot Conditions
Mr. Madhu Tiruveedhula – Consultant Orthopaedic & Diabetic Foot Reconstruction Specialist
Mr. Tiruveedhula specialises in advanced diabetic foot reconstruction, focusing on saving limbs, restoring function, and preventing amputation.
With a multidisciplinary and evidence-based approach, Mr. Tiruveedhula treats complex diabetic foot conditions with precision and compassion.
What is Diabetic Foot Reconstruction?
Diabetic foot reconstruction is a specialised surgical approach to treat severe foot complications caused by diabetes, such as ulcers, infections, deformities, and poor circulation.
High blood sugar can damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to slow healing, infection, and tissue damage, which may require surgical intervention.
The primary goal is to:
• Remove infected or dead tissue
• Restore blood flow
• Correct deformities
• Promote healing and prevent amputation
Conditions Treated
Mr. Madhu Tiruveedhula treats a wide range of diabetic foot conditions:
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Infected wounds and abscess
• Gangrene and tissue damage
• Charcot foot deformity
• Foot deformities causing pressure ulcers
• Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
These conditions often arise due to neuropathy (nerve damage), poor blood flow, and foot deformities, which increase the risk of non-healing wounds.
When is Reconstruction Needed?
Reconstruction is recommended when:
• Wounds fail to heal with conservative treatment
• There is severe infection or tissue loss
• Foot deformity causes repeated ulcers
• Blood circulation is compromised
• There is a risk of amputation
Early intervention significantly improves outcomes and limb preservation.
Our Treatment Approach
We follow a comprehensive, step-by-step limb salvage protocol:
1. Infection Control & Wound Cleaning
• Removal of dead/infected tissue (debridement)
• Drainage of abscess and infection control
2. Restoring Blood Flow
• Vascular procedures (angioplasty/bypass if required)
• Improves healing potential
3. Structural Correction
• Correction of bone deformities
• Stabilisation using advanced fixation techniques
4. Soft Tissue Reconstruction
• Skin grafts or flap surgeries to cover wounds
• Advanced tissue reconstruction for durable healing
5. Rehabilitation & Prevention
• Offloading techniques (special footwear/bracing)
• Physiotherapy and long-term care
Advanced Surgical Techniques
• Debridement surgery
• Reconstructive foot surgery
• Flap and graft procedures
• Charcot foot reconstruction
• Vascular interventions
• Limb salvage procedures
In many cases, reconstruction can avoid amputation and restore near-normal function when performed timely.
