A comprehensive program focused on foot-specific patient education, skin and nail care, and protective footwear lowers the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers and lower extremity amputations. Orthopedic or podiatric consultations are warranted for those “at risk” or with foot ulcers.

ABSTRACT: Amputation of the lower extremity is more frequent in diabetic patients than in the general population. Causative factors include foot deformities, neuropathy, dysvascularity, infection, and gangrene. A grading and treatment program is outlined for aid in treating the lesions that develop in these feet.

Lower extremity complications are common in patients with diabetes and include neuropathy, ulceration, infection, and peripheral arterial disease. Foot infections represent the single most common cause of hospitalization and lower extremity amputation in persons with diabetes. Foot ulceration as a result of diabetic peripheral sensory neuropathy, rigid

Foot complications in diabetics often lead to amputation. Ulceration is the most common complication in the diabetic forefoot and underlies more than 90% of cases of pedal osteomyelitis. The diagnosis of osteomyelitis is, nevertheless, difficult, and imaging is an important part of the work‐up.

Management of the diabetic foot
Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2022The increasing prevalence of diabatic foot ulcers (DFUs) is not only costly, but carries a large mortality burden. In this article, we discuss important traditional concepts in the management of DFUs and elaborate on how new technologies have expanded our ability to treat DFUs effectively.

Diabetic foot problems are common and result in multiple and prolonged hospitalizations, which often lead to amputation. While peripheral vascular dis ease and neuropathy are not totally preventable with current forms of therapy, many of the foot lesions resulting from these complications can be prevented by patient education and prophylactic foot care.

Management of foot problems in the patient with diabetes mellitus requires attention to each system affected by the disease. Appropriate treatment of common clinical problems affecting the foot in diabetic patients, such as ulcerations and fractures, depends on a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease.

It is not diabetic foot: it is my foot
Journal of Wound Care, 2019Objective: To examine the experiences of patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Method: This qualitative study, using patient interviews, focused on how inpatients receiving treatment for diabetes experience the disease. Patients were selected using a purposive sampling method. Results: A total of 15 patients participated in the study.

Diabetes is rapidly emerging as the new global epidemic. The prevalence of diabetes is expected to double in the next three decades. Diabetic foot (DF) is a major complication of long standing diabetes, accounting for nearly 35% of all hospital admissions in diabetic clinics.
