Overview

Diabetic foot is a known complication of diabetes. Diabetic patients who are at risk of foot ulceration, develop diabetic foot which may get infected later. The healing process of diabetic foot usually takes a long time (2-5 months) with proper treatment. The final state of diabetic foot is a necrotic foot. The wound healing process can get prolonged in patients with high elevated body mass index or osteomyelitis. Diabetic foot ulcers can cause numerous complications, such as sepsis, osteomyelitis, gangrene, lower limb amputation, and death. The chance of amputation is increased with factors such as old age, peripheral vascular disease (PAD), transcutaneous oxygen reduction, poor glycemic control, being on dialysis, and osteomyelitis. If left untreated, prognosis could be very bad and it can eventually lead to death. Male gender, old age, peripheral vascular disease, and concurrent chronic renal failure are related to higher rate of death. The presence of a single ulcer is associated with a particularly good prognosis among patients with diabetic foot, compared to multiple ulcers. Glycemic control improvement, treatment of neuropathy, and immediate treatment of ulcers improve the prognosis.
