Why China
Why patients consider China for diabetic foot care
Deep experience with complex cases
China's specialist teams see a high volume of severe, complex diabetic foot cases.
Limb preservation comes first
The goal is to save the foot first — amputation as a last resort, not a first option.
Transparent, high-value cost
Typically far lower than the US and Western Europe, with a written estimate upfront.
Public, state-backed tertiary hospitals
Grade-A tertiary (三甲) public hospitals — where China sends its most difficult cases.
A safe, modern, welcoming place to heal
Modern and safe — high-speed rail, pay-by-phone convenience, and a culture that values hospitality.
One coordinator handles everything
A dedicated coordinator handles scheduling, visa, interpreting, and travel — end to end.
Core Treatments
What We Can Do For You
Five evidence-based techniques — each targeting a different root cause of diabetic foot complications.
-
Tibial Cortex Transposition (TCT)
Tibial Cortex Transposition (TCT), also called Tibial Transverse Transport (TTT), is a minimally invasive bone surgery that regrows blood vessels into the foot — without grafts, implants, or a revascularizable target. 96% success rate in no-option patients.
96% wound healing success rate in severe CLI -
Precision Below-Knee Revascularization
Micro-balloon angioplasty and retrograde pedal-arch access reaching the metatarsal vessels that standard revascularization misses — restoring direct foot-level perfusion.
85–92% technical success rate -
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWTi-d)
Multimodal serial debridement combined with instillation-mode NPWT — penetrating biofilm, clearing infection 50% faster, and building a healthy granulation bed in days rather than weeks.
50% faster infection clearance vs standard care -
Bone Infection & Staged Reconstruction
A staged protocol combining culture-directed antibiotic bone cement with the induced-membrane technique — achieving local antibiotic levels that systemic therapy cannot reach, then rebuilding what infection destroyed.
>2× local antibiotic concentration vs intravenous -
Soft-Tissue Reconstruction & Regenerative Closure
From minimally invasive epidermal cell harvesting to free-flap reconstruction — closing what debridement left open, with techniques matched to each defect and patient.
≥85% graft take rate in an optimized wound bed -
Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT)
Precise biological wound debridement — sterile Lucilia sericata larvae selectively digest necrotic tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact, with antimicrobial secretions that disrupt biofilm no antibiotic can reliably penetrate.
94% debridement success rate in infected DFU (published series) -
Stem Cell & PRP Regenerative Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma and autologous mesenchymal stem cells deliver concentrated growth factors directly to stalled wound tissue — accelerating healing in wounds that have exhausted conventional options and giving ischemic tissue the angiogenic signaling it needs.
RR 1.22 wound closure rate vs standard care (PRP, 10-RCT meta-analysis) -
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Diabetic foot ulcers fail partly because wound tissue is oxygen-starved. At 2.0–2.4 ATA breathing 100% oxygen, dissolved plasma oxygen reaches ischemic tissue that red cells cannot supply. China's centers run high-capacity multiplace chambers with DFU-specific protocols.
71% reduction in major amputation risk (Cochrane review, 2015; RR 0.29) -
TCM-Integrated Wound Care
China's specialist DFU hospitals run TCM and Western wound care as parallel treatment streams — dedicated TCM physicians, custom herbal dressings, and acupuncture for circulation alongside modern debridement, vascular intervention, and pharmacotherapy.
