2. INTRODUCTION-
DEFINITION
Diabetic foot is one of the most significant and devastating complications of diabetes, and is defined as a foot
affected by ulceration that is associated with neuropathy and/or peripheral arterial disease of the lower limb in a
patient with diabetes.
TYPES
Diabetic foot is classified into two major types.
• The Neuropathic Foot where neuropathy dominates
• The Neuroischemic Foot, where occlusive vascular disease is the main factor, although neuropathy is present.
3. Wound classification system-
Stages Description
Stage A No infection or ischemia
Stage B Infection present
Stage C Ischemia present
Stage D Infection and ischemia present
Grading
Grade 0 Epithelialized wound
Grade 1 Superficial wound
Grade 2 Wound penetrates to tendon or capsule
Grade 3 Wound penetrates to bone or joint
4. RISK FACTORS
• Age ≥ 45 years
• Male gender
• Charcot joint
• Peripheral vascular disease
• Peripheral neuropathy
• DM Duration ≥10 years
• Insulin use
• Retinopathy
• Nephropathy
• Poor glycemic control
• Cerebral vascular disease
• Coronary heart disease
• Hypertension
• Smoking
6. TREATMENT GOALS
1. Eradication of clinical evidence of infection.
2. Avoidance of soft tissue loss and amputations.
3. Leg Conservation.
4. Rehabilitation of Patients.
5. Treatment and healing of DIABETIC FOOT.
6. Prevention of recurrence of DIABETIC FOOT and wounds.
7. Reduction of morbidity and mortality due to LEG.
8. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
• Pain, erythema, and edema may be absent due to neuropathy
• Pus
• Delayed healing
• Increased lesion size
• Malodor
• Changes in skin color
• Changes in skin temperature
• Swelling in the foot or ankle
• Open sores on the feet that are slow to heal or are draining
• Ingrown toenails or toenails infected with fungus
• Corns or calluses
• Dry cracks in the skin, especially around the heel
• Foot odor that is unusual or won't go away
10. NON- PHARMACOTHERAPY
• Debridement of necrotic tissues
• Wound drainage and amputation as required
• Frequent dressing changes
• Maximize glycemic control to aid in would healing
• Elevation to decrease swelling

19. ASSESSMENT
• Diagnosis- Diabetic foot (left).
• Etiology-
1. History of type II Diabetes Mellitus
2. Poor glycemic control
3. Improper foot care
4. Poor blood circulation
5. Dry skin
6. Impaired Immune response
Due to excessive alcohol consumption and tobacco consumption
which has lead to loss of essential nutrition from body.
