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.

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.

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 ...

Diabetes is an ever-growing problem and financial burden faced by the health-care community. It is a disease marked by hyperglycemia leading to systemic changes affecting the nervous, vascular, immune, and musculoskeletal systems. Many diabetics experience difficulties with neuropathy that may lead to ulceration and ultimately infection.

Abstract Foot disease is a common complication of type-1 and type-2 diabetes. The term ‘diabetic foot’ refers to a spectrum of disease that includes the foot at risk of ulceration, the ulcerated foot, and the Charcot foot. Risk of ulceration is conferred by peripheral neuropathy, and peripheral vascular disease.

More than 80% of lower-extremity amputations in civilian life result from vascular disease. Diabetes afflicts one half of these patients. "Minor" problems do not exist in the diabetic foot. Appropriate therapy of any lesion, no matter how small, may well determine the difference between walking and life in a wheelchair or perhaps, between life and ...
