Letter from The Editor -
I am very pleased to announce the publication of the latest issue of The Journal of Diabetic Foot Complications. We have provided direct links to the articles below to facilitate easier viewing of our Journal. As you may already know, the JDFC is a free, exclusively online journal with a primary focus on complications, conditions, and management of disorders affecting the diabetic lower extremities. Published quarterly, our peer reviewed issues contain review and research articles as well as interesting case reports from clinicians around the Globe who share our interest in the diabetic foot and diabetic limb salvage.
Let me personally invite you to become not only a subscriber to the JDFC, but also a contributor. I encourage you to share your experiences in managing patients with diabetic foot complications with the rest of our Global community. As I have learned, we all share common problems with our patients regardless of city, country, or continent. More importantly, we learn from each other's experiences and can apply such knowledge to the betterment of our own patients.
I look forward to hearing your comments about the articles or the Journal in general. Our aim is to continually improve our content based on your comments and concerns. And again, I encourage you to submit your own articles to us at [email protected] or [email protected]
You can reach the Journal of Diabetic Foot Complications on the web at https://jdfc.org
Best regards,
