The final article highlighting a decade of APMA-SVS collaboration, "An Analysis of Guideline Consensus for the Prevention, Diagnosis and Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers" by Anthony Karabanow, MD, et al, analyzes published consensus documents on diabetic foot ulcers management and reports on concordance across disciplines/publications.

"Optimal diabetic foot management requires a multidisciplinary approach including wound care, vascular surgery, podiatry for pressure offloading, infection control, as well as holistic patient care."

The third article celebrating the APMA-SVS relationship, 'Toward an Interdisciplinary Approach to Diabetic Limbs in the Era of Functional Limb Preservation: "Can We Preserve This Limb?" Meets "Should We Preserve This Limb?"' from Francesco Serino, MD, et al, dives into the interdisciplinary approach to limb salvage and why one should look at function in addition to other metrics when consider whether to save a limb.

"[Technological advances] brought podiatric and vascular surgeons together to develop interdisciplinary teams. They began not only sharing clinic and operating time, but also sharing ideas about patient care and clinical research."

Another article commemorating the APMA-SVS relationship, "The Significance of the Global Vascular Guidelines for Podiatrists: Answers to Key Questions in the Diagnosis and Management of the Threatened Limb" from Lee Rogers, DPM, et al, provides guidance for podiatrists seeking to implement the Global Vascular Guidelines in their practice.

"There is robust evidence that multidisciplinary, team-based care results in better outcomes and reduced health expenditures for those with diabetic foot problems and CLTI. Podiatry's role on that team cannot be overstated."

Recently APMA and SVS celebrated 10 years of collaboration with a series of articles in JAPMA. 'The Offspring of Sisyphus: Steady Progress in The Decade Since the "Toe and Flow" JAPMA-JVS Special Issue on Limb Preservation' by David Armstrong, DPM, PhD, MD, et al, talks about the history of the relationship and how podiatrists and vascular surgeons working together can save more limbs and lives.

"Five-year mortality associated with diabetes-related [lower extremity] conditions continues to rival all but the most aggressive forms of cancer."
