Discern the outcome of plantar forefoot ulcers and their specific characteristics in a large cohort.

Methodology is a detailed explanation of how the sample was recruited, and data collected.  E.g., the population of interest was patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2 and foot ulcers. Observing patients with diabetes and plantar forefoot ulcer, followed prospectively until final outcome (healing or death)

How recruited, # patients, ages, gender, etc.

E.g., statistical analysis was performed for those who healed without any foot surgery.

E.g., utilization of a 60 second screening tool for the high-risk diabetic patients along with proper footwear decreases the amputation rate in their hospital. 79% of patients with diabetes and a plantar forefoot ulcer treated at the multidisciplinary diabetes foot clinic healed without amputation.
