Dear Editor:
I recently noticed an oversight in the article (Lountzis et al. Percutaneous flexor tenotomy—office procedure for diabetic toe ulcerations. WOUNDS. 2007;19[3]:64–68), which does not contain results on follow-up. The authors stated the procedure was “never described in an instructive fashion in the literature.” This author had previously published the technique and results on follow-up of this procedure in Wounds and elsewhere.1–3 The editor, authors, and readers may find the excellent results on follow-up of interest.
In my opinion, the literature3–5 indicates that tendon lengthening for diabetic foot ulcers has the highest rate of healing and the lowest rate of recurrence and complications of the treatments now available.
