Diabetes can limit blood supply to the feet resulting in loss of
feeling, which means foot injuries do not heal well and may go
unnoticed. People with diabetes are 15 times more likely to have a
limb amputated due to gangrene. Diabetic foot is an often
overlooked complication in general diabetes care. This book is a
practical guide to the management of diabetes-related complications
of the foot. Beginning with an overview of diabetic foot care,
anatomy and biomechanics of the foot, and peripheral neuropathy,
the following sections cover a variety of diabetes-related
disorders. Each condition is explained in detail covering its
pathophysiology, investigations, diagnosis and treatment, including
surgery and rehabilitation where appropriate. The final section
discusses recent advances and future techniques and technologies in
the management of diabetic foot. The text is further enhanced by
algorithms and diagrams to assist understanding of potential
treatment strategies.
