Abstract:
The management of diabetic foot requires a rapid intervention in front of any type of wound, if possible by a multidisciplinary team. The daily diabetic foot screening is the best prevention. Peripheral neuropathy leads to articular deformations, loss of pain alert and skin dryness. Arteriopathy, which is also frequent, retards cicatrisation of wounds, with a higher risk of infection and amputation. Meticulous local care and foot pressure off-loading are essential, with, if needed, appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Surgery, with curative, preventive or even restorative interventions, occupies an increasing place. The evaluation, treatment and follow-up of the diabetic foot should follow new guidelines established by the IWGDF.
