Inventor and Pioneer of Diabetic Foot Techniques

Diabetic Limb Salvage is our Specialty
In 2003 Dr. Grant invented the EZ Frame, now in worldwide distribution. Used primarily for diabetic foot ulcers, wounds, and limb salvage.

In 2013 Dr. Grant invented the G-Beam. Beaming is a method of salvage for Diabetic Charcot feet, many of which would otherwise be amputated. His G-Beam uses mechanical engineering principles to address the problem in patients of all sizes, weights and activities. G-Beam has been selected as one the Top Ten Innovations in Podiatry Today magazine for 2018.

Charcot Diabetic Foot BEFORE G-Beam Surgery

Charcot Diabetic Foot AFTER G-Beam Surgery

This is a picture of patients in our practice’s wound center. Each has an ilizarov external fixator in place to help severe wounds or foot deformities heal. Our wound center sees more patients with severe wound or limb salvage or diabetic wounds treated using external fixation than any in our region. We have pioneered use of external fixation for off loading wounds, published our work in the literature, and are actively involved in its further development.
