Show notes

Dr. G explains what dead space is — a residual tissue cavity after tissue loss or separation in the diabetic foot — why it matters, and how it differs from abscesses, undermining, and tunneling. He outlines how to recognize dead space (probing, persistent drainage, imaging), its impact on healing, and practical management strategies including debridement, drainage, infection control, offloading, and prevention.
