A Systematic Review on Tibial Cortex Transverse Transport in the Treatment of Ischemic Ulcers of the Lower Limb.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemic foot ulcers are a debilitating but common finding from many different conditions and can result in severe and life-threatening complications such as amputation and death. In recent years, tibial cortex transverse transport (TTT) has been used to treat ischemic ulcers with the aim to improve revascularization and wound healing. Our aim with this systematic review is to analyze the current literature to study the effects this surgery has on the treatment of ischemic ulcers of the lower limb.

Methods

A search was conducted using the 3 databases Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus to collate all articles associated with the use of TTT in the treatment of lower limb ischemic ulcers. Duplicate articles were removed, and the remaining articles were filtered and s
