Core Tip	Current treatment options for diabetic foot primarily involve glycemic control and surgical intervention. However, these approaches do not address the underlying pathological state of ischemia and hypoxia. Consequently, many patients with refractory diabetic foot ultimately require amputation. Transverse tibial bone transport (TTT), initially developed to correct limb deformities, has shown favorable outcomes in research studies. This technique has also been widely applied in managing chronic osteomyelitis due to its advantages, including minimal invasiveness, enhancement of microcirculation, and reconstruction of both osseous and soft tissue defects. Therefore, this study explores the effects of TTT on treatment outcomes in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
