Cost effectiveness of early digit amputation in the patient with diabetes.

Osteomyelitis in the digit of the diabetic patient is best managed by antibiotics and amputation. Antibiotics alone are not effective or cost-effective as demonstrated in a retrospective study of 22 such patients diagnosed clinically and confirmed roentgenographically. Definitive operation allows the patient to return to work within two weeks of amputation.
