Abstract:
Polyneuropathy causing ulceration and amputation as a long-term consequence of diabetes mellitus is analysed for its pathophysiology, socioeconomic and medical relevance. Outcomes of decompression of peripheral nerves on the lower extremity regarding sensation, pain, development, and recurrence of ulceration, and amputation is evaluated by a systematic literature review in pubmed, medline and embase. Decompression of peripheral nerves in diabetic peripheral neuropathy seems to be a good treatment option for restoring sensation, decreasing pain, as well as for avoiding the development and recurrence of ulceration and amputation.
