Letter From The Editor

I am very pleased to announce the publication of the latest issue of The Journal of Diabetic Foot Complications (JDFC). We have provided direct links to the articles below to facilitate easier viewing of our Journal. Feel free to download the PDF versions to your own personal libraries.

As you may already know, the JDFC is a free, exclusively online journal with a primary focus on complications, conditions, and management of disorders affecting the diabetic lower extremities. Published quarterly, our peer reviewed issues contain review and research articles as well as interesting case reports from clinicians around the globe who share our interest in the diabetic foot and diabetic limb salvage. In the current issue you will read several interesting articles that present a new twist to the management of complex diabetic foot wounds as well as a successful protocol for amputation prevention that you can use in your own center.

I look forward to hearing your comments about the articles or the Journal in general. Our aim is to continually improve our content based on your comments and concerns. I encourage you to submit your own articles to us at jdfceditor@gmail.com or Editors@jdfc.org.
