3 Diabetes 135 million Diabetics worldwide United States 20.8 million Diabetics (7% of population) 1.5 million new cases yearly 25% diabetics develop foot ulcer during their lifetime 50% or more of amputations occur in diabetics
4 Diabetes Fact: 85% of all diabetes-related lower extremity amputations are preceded by a diabetic foot ulceration.
5 5 year Mortality Rate in Diabetics after amputation: 5 year Mortality Rate after amputation: Neuropathic : 45% Ischemic : 55% Moulik PK, Mtonga R, Gill GV, Amputation and Mortality in New-Onset Diabetic Foot Ulcers Stratified by Etiology. Diabetes Care February 2003 vol. 26 no

9 Total Contact Cast: Indications Patient must be non-infected. Adequate blood supply to heal ABI 0.8 Wagner classifications Grade 1 and 2 go can go into TCC s and be managed effectively on an out-patient basis. Good complement to HBO Wounds that probe to tendon, capsule or bone, or with abscesses do not go into TCC s!
10 TCC Patient Selection Plantar Diabetic & Neuropathic Foot Ulcerations Wagner Grade 1-2 Diminishes the vertical & shearing forces of walking, allowing a plantar/lateral lesion to heal Non-Infected with Reasonable Vascular Status Charcot Neuroarthropathy Fractures Eliminates the stresses of weight bearing, allowing the condition to consolidate Post-operative management To immobilize the surgical site to allow healing by minimizing the weight-bearing & shear forces
11 Total Contact Cast Contraindications Acute Infection Severe Ischemia Claustrophobia Wagner Grade 3,4 Non-Compliance Allergy to casting material Excessive or fluctuating edema Excessive drainage
12 TCC Functional Attributes Allows for healing while ambulating Forced Compliance Immobilization, total contact with forefoot, arch, heel, Achilles tendon, and cone of lower leg. No pistoning Ankle locked at 90%. Eliminates the propulsive phase of gait Shortens stride length Minimizes vertical (Ground Reactive Pressures) and shear stresses Protects affected limb from trauma
13 Total Contact Cast The device has been shown to decrease plantar pressures to nearly imperceptible levels of 0.34 n/cm2. The near complete elimination of motion in the TCC also substantially curtails shearing forces. - Todd, WF; Ostomy & Wound Management, August, 1995
14 How does the cast offload? Cast offloads by transferring weight bearing to the leg itself (Load Sharing) Total contact weight bearing on plantar surface (Load Redistribution) Shaw, J.E., et al., The mechanism of plantar unloading in total contact casts: implications for design and clinical use.

32 TCC Comparision to RCW Patients treated with a removable device wore the device for a total of 28% of their daily activity 2 Most compliant population not exceeding 60% 2 TCC significantly decreases the amount of ambulation and activity of the patient.

35 Contact Casting Complications TCC iatrogenic complications Complication rates have ranged from 11% to 30% of high risk patients, though the vast majority of these complications are minor. Most of the reported major complications are due to previously undiagnosed osteomyelitis and patient noncompliance. Most common are minor complications are dermal abrasions. Wukich and Motko found that 93% (13/14) of their complications were minor pressure ulcers and did not require a change in the treatment protocol. Wukich, D.K. and J. Motko, Safety of total contact casting in high-risk patients with neuropathic foot ulcers. Foot Ankle Int, (8): p
36 Other complications include: Maceration Fungal infection Claustrophobic-like response to the cast Cast being too tight Difficulty ambulating The most important factor for decreasing the risk of iatrogenic compilations is frequent cast changing.
