Of these, 502 were classified as non\u2010vascular diabetic foot surgery and 288 were vascular interventions. Urgent surgery was significantly reduced after team implementation (77.7% vs 48.5%,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001; OR\u2009=\u20093.7, 95% CI: 2.4\u20135.5). The high\/low amputation ratio decreased from 0.35 to 0.27 due to an increase in low\u2010level (midfoot) amputations (8.2% vs 26.1%,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001; OR\u2009=\u20094.0, 95% CI: 2.0\u201383.3). A 45.7% reduction in below\u2010knee amputations was realized with a stable above\u2010knee\/below\u2010knee amputation ratio (0.73\u20130.81). One\u2010third of patients required vascular intervention. Vascular reconstructions increased 44.1% following institution of the team. Initial revascularization was endovascular in 70.6% of patients. Repeat endovascular intervention or conversion to open bypass was required in 37.1% of these patients, almost double the reintervention rate of those receiving open bypass first (18.9%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Interdisciplinary diabetic foot surgery teams may significantly impact surgery type, with greater focus on proactive and preventive, rather than reactive and ablative, procedures. Although endovascular limb\u2010sparing procedures have become increasingly applicable, open bypass remains critical to success.
