A retrospective analysis of 20 patients who underwent MIS bunion correction was performed.

He noted that entrapment neuropathy is common in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and explained that multiple sites of local nerve entrapment can also produce the classically described clinical picture of progressive and irreversible 'length dependent axonopathy'. This observation has justified for him the use of nerve decompression (ND) surgery for beneficial treatment of DPN pain, diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), ulcer recurrences and their subsequent complications. Subsequent observational and controlled reports have consistently demonstrated post-operative benefit for these problems, but ND has not yet been widely adopted. The lack of an etiologic explanation of the physiology changes which would allow surgery to modify the metabolic disturbances of diabetes has likely been involved in such hesitance. Recent explanations that glycolysis is altered in diabetes through intensified polyol metabolism which produces swollen nerves, local peripheral entrapments and compression neuropathy now provide plausible associations of hyperglycemia with epidermal hypoxia and nutrition deficit. Recognition that nerve enlargements can create secondary fibro-osseous compressions explains the well-known association of diabetes and compression syndromes. Peripheral nerve entrapments damage small c-fibers and produce sympathetic autonomic as well as sensorimotor dysfunction. This explains the diminished skin microcirculation, epidermal hypoxia and nutrition deficit seen in diabetes, DPN, DFU and Charcot neuroarthropathy. Laboratory and clinical evidence has demonstrated that ND in diabetes rejuvenates at least two sympathetically commanded skin microcirculation processes and explains how surgery is producing beneficial results. This article recapitulates the literature which clarifies the processes by which ND surgery can modify painful DPN, DFU occurrence, ulcer healing, DFU recurrence risk, amputations after DFU healing, and bilateral pain relief after unilateral surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"116 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148317829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
