    AbstractA retrospective study was undertaken to determine the importance of performing noninvasive blood flow studies on the diabetic patient population prior to undergoing elective foot surgery. Thirty diabetic patients, contemplating elective foot surgery, underwent noninvasive blood flow studies. Eighty-seven percent of these patients, with ankle/brachial indices greater than 0.6, successfully healed after surgery was performed.
