Core Tip
Core Tip: Tibial transverse transport (TTT) operation is an effective modern-day technique of treating diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) with a high rate of healing and limb savage compared to conventional surgery. TTT significantly improves blood circulation, release of angiogenic factors and reduces recurrence rate of DFU.
