Abstract
Over past few years, there has been an increase in various new concepts in diabetic foot few of which are derived from other fields like oncology as some of those concepts serves to be suitable in diabetic foot too. One known model over past 3 to 4 decade was reconstructive ladder model in field of reconstructive surgery. Reconstructive ladder was extremely popular over years and with introduction of newer techniques, various people proposed modifications of it like reconstructive elevator, reconstructive triangle, reconstructive pie, etc all being variants of reconstructive ladder. Antonym of reconstruction is destruction and amputations are destructive surgeries. Similar to the line of reconstructive ladder model and its variants, the author redesigned, encompassed and implemented all the variants that are suitable in the new amputation models and other subsets in diabetic foot. Interestingly, over so many years, no attempt were done to apply these interesting models to diabetic foot field, some of which the author believes, would suit it appropriately. The author attempts to create various models of amputation and different subsets in diabetic foot field some of which are akin to reconstructive ladder and its variants and some being relatively new like diabetic foot wheel. All these are open models which means any newer concept developed later over years can be directly added to any of these models.
