Clinical and functional outcomes of the silo technique in the management of diabetic calcaneal osteomyelitis

The Silo technique for diabetic calcaneal osteomyelitis demonstrates promising clinical outcomes, including infection eradication, ulcer healing, ulcer recurrence, limb salvage, 1-year mortality, and mobility. Further prospective studies with larger cohorts and randomised controlled trials are warranted to validate these exploratory findings and to better understand the factors influencing both short and long-term outcomes.
