Participants were stratified by the presence of ulcers or impending ulcers. Participants were randomly assigned to tenotomy and standard nonsurgical treatment or to standard nonsurgical treatment alone. Primary outcomes were time to ulcer healing and progression from impending ulcer to active ulcer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 224 screened participants with diabetes, 95 (59.0% men) were included. The mean follow-up was 291 \u00b1 70 days, 28 (29.5%) had type 1 diabetes, mean diabetes (presented with 25\u201375% quartile) duration was 20 (13\u201326) years, and mean age was 67.7 \u00b1 9.8 years. Of the included participants, 16 had ulcers, of whom 8 were randomly assigned to intervention. Of the remaining 79 with impending ulcers, 39 were randomly assigned to intervention. For participants with ulcers, healing rates favored tenotomy (100% vs. 37.5%, P = 0.026) as did time to ulcer healing (P = 0.04). For those with impending ulcers, incidence of progression to an active ulcer was lower (1 vs. 7, P = 0.028) and the number of ulcer-free days higher (P = 0.043) in the tenotomy group. No serious adverse events were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This randomized study showed that the simple procedure of needle flexor tendon tenotomy was effective and safe when treating and preventing ulcers associated with the diabetic hammertoe deformity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2337\/dc22-0085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,24]],"date-time":"2022-09-24T08:10:05Z","timestamp":1664007005000},"page":"2492-2500","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Flexor Tendon Tenotomy Treatment of the Diabetic Foot: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5213-5888","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonas","family":"Ask\u00f8 Andersen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Herlev, Denmark"},{"name":"2Orthopedic Department, North Zealand Hospital, Hiller\u00f8d Hospital, Hiller\u00f8d, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Rasmussen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susanne","family":"Engberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Herlev, Denmark"},{"name":"3Novo Nordisk A\/S, S\u00f8borg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jesper","family":"Bencke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4Human Movement Analysis Laboratory, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Copenhagen University Hospital at Amager-Hvidovre, Hvidovre, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8486-1515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie","family":"Frimodt-M\u00f8ller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klaus","family":"Kirketerp-M\u00f8ller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Herlev, Denmark"},{"name":"5Copenhagen Wound Healing Center, Bispebjerg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1531-4294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Rossing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Herlev, Denmark"},{"name":"6Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1167","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022110118550550300_B1","unstructured":"International Diabetes Federation .
