SHARING OF INFORMATION DIABETIC FOOT
DEFINITION • “Infection, ulceration and/or destruction of deep tissues associated with neurological abnormalities and various degrees of peripheral vascular disease in the lower limb” (WHO, 1985) • “The term “diabetic” foot indicates that there are specific qualities about the feet of people with diabetes that sets this disease apart from other conditions that affect the lower extremity” (Habershaw & Chzran, 1995)
DEFINITION • “…the many different lesions of the skin, nails, bone and connective tissue in the foot which occur more often in diabetic patients than non-diabetic patients such as ulcers, neuropathic fractures, infections, gangrene and amputations”(De Heus-van Putten, 1994) • “The term ‘diabetic foot’ implies that the pathophysiological processes of diabetes mellitus does something to the foot that puts it at increased risk for tissue damage”. (Payne & Florkowski, 1998)
GENERALITIES THREE BROAD TYPES OF DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS: • neuropathic • ischaemic • neuroischaemic
Diabetic foot ulcers are classified using the commonly used Wagner’s Classification
