An analysis of results of complex treatment of 160 patients with purulent complications of the diabetic foot has allowed optimization of the decision on surgical strategy using the proposed formula depending on the severity of the general state of the patients. The decision on the surgical strategy of treatment taking into account the indices of the severity of the disease led to 2.5 times less number of "great" amputations and 29% shorter duration of the patients' staying at the hospital.
