Abstract
An increase in the prevalence of diabetes and the associated peripheral complications has required more collaboration between vascular surgeons and podiatrists to prevent limb losses. Podiatric education, training, and experience is different, but not dissimilar to that of allopathic or osteopathic pathways. Limb salvage teams that include podiatrists and vascular surgeons have been successful at reducing amputations.
