The Karel Bakker Award is conferred to those who have made extraordinary contributions to DFD and limb preservation globally. Receiving the Karel Bakker Award emphasises Armstrong’s groundbreaking research and commitment to education, which has helped shape the future of DFD and limb preservation, thereby significantly enhancing the lives of countless patients worldwide.
