Diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFUs) have a global prevalence of 6.3%, reaching 13% in North America [1]. DFUs have a dismal prognosis, with 5-and 10-year survival rates of approximately 50% and 25%, respectively [2, 3]. Infection, complicating> 40% of DFUs, is often the coup-de-grace; nearly half of patients hospitalized with a diabetes-related foot infection (DFI) undergo amputation within 1 year [4, 5]. These risks disproportionately affect Black, Hispanic, Native, rural, and low-income communities [6, 7]. Lower extremity amputations due to DFUs are the third most costly diabetes complication and are feared by many patients more than death [8].In 2012, the authors of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) DFI guidelines declared that “The main problem currently is less our lack of full understanding of the problem as our failure to apply what we know works.”[9] This statement remains accurate a decade later. Multidisciplinary DFI teams can reduce major amputations, and similar teams have dramatically reduced attributable mortality for infective endocarditis [10, 11]. Despite this, inconsistent and unstructured collaboration between specialists that lead to breakdowns in shared decision-making remains common. In this narrative review, we bring together experts in infectious diseases, endocrinology, podiatry, and vascular surgery to discuss shared decision-making in DFI care. We provide a focused overview of the comprehensive management of these patients, highlighting modern research spearheaded by our surgical colleagues and contemporary guidance from the International Working Group for the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF), arguably the lingua franca of DFI specialists [12]. Finally, we offer best practices for clinician–clinician and patient–clinician shared decision-making.
