title: [The prevention and treatment of the deep phlegmons of "diabetic foot"].
abstract: Based on clinical observations of pyo-necrotic lesions of the foot in patients with diabetic mellitus and on an analysis of their personal operations performed on these patients the authors support the tendency to local necrotomies. Two original operations are proposed: ablation of the great toe with a preliminary transection of the tendon of the long flexor and radical operation of the deep phlegmon of the foot with the dissection of plantar aponeurosis and short flexors of the toes. These methods allow the general amount of amputations and lethality to be decreased.
