Is diabetic foot also curable? Yeah, it is. It's totally curable. So we know that the cure rates are sort of directly related to how deep the ulcer is, whether there is evidence of infection and also how bad the arteries, the state of the arteries are. And so the ones that tend to heal are the more shallow ones, the ones where there's no kind of bone or tendon on view and where the patient has a good foot circulation. And if not, it's our job to give them as much off that back and correct the correctables.
