Management of the diabetic foot
Abstract:
Foot disease in diabetics is caused by peripheral neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease. Initial evaluation involves repeated physical examinations, including careful inspection for infection, and Doppler analysis of perfusion. A tracing of the ulceration should be obtained so that healing can be monitored. Properly fitting shoes are imperative for prophylactic care. Shoe modification is possible using moldable plastics and metatarsal bars. Patient and family education are also important elements of management.
