Prevalence diabetic foot : > , world wide now exceeds 200 milion next 20 years become 300 milion
Complication diabetic foot PAD ( peripheral arterial disease ) with infection medical emergency
Most important underlying is neuropathy ( sensory , motor, and autonom ) Sensory protective sensation < Motor muscle atrophy , foot diabetic Autonom dry skin PAD

Neurological A. Light touch B. Sharp-dull discrimination C. Vibratory D. Proprioception E. Protective sensation F. DTR

Neurovascular
Increased blood flow increased osteoclast activity osteopenia Bony collapse Glycolization of ligaments brittle and fail Joint collapse
Can be lead severe soft tissue and osseous infection Symtoms : cellulitis , lymphangitis or purulent discharge with sepsis Pro surgical intervention Lab : complete blood count , glucose level , Hg A-1c , albumin , erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR) , culture for appropriate antibiotic
Bone biopsi gold standard Plain radiographs, with contralateral uninvolve foot radiolucency ( 5-7 days) , 10-14 days ( sequester and involucrum ) , soft tissue edema , gas . After operation ,check again day 14 MRI most accurate CT scan Bone scintigraphy For best imaging is : MRI with bone biopsi
Non limb threatening - superficial ulcer and less than 2 cm of sorrounding cellulitis with absence leukocytosis
WAGNER CLASSIFICATION FOR DIABETIC FOOT LESIONS Grade 0 No open lesion(callus may be present)
WAGNER CLASSIFICATION FOR DIABETIC FOOT LESIONS Grade 3 Deep Ulcer with abscess, osteomyelitis, joint sepsis Grade 4 Localized gangrene

Vascular anatomy of the foot , 4 zones Proximal plantar area Midplantar area Lateral foot Distal foot 10 compartement can require decomprescion with surgical incision (1) Skin , (2) medial, ( 3 ) superficial central (4) deep central ( 5) lateral (6-9) interoseus (10) calcaneus compartement
Incision not be place down to bone for maintain cutaneus vascularity and promote primary bone closure Asuperficial sentral , deep central, calcaeal compartement B peroneal tendon and lateral compartement of leg C interosseus compartements D every compartement excepts dorsal plantar facia
If bone expose or suspect osteomyelitis bone culture and performed application polymethylmethacrylate antibiotic loaded cement ( PMMA-ALC ) Serial debridement is performed as needed as obtain stable wound free necrotic tissue For wound care use 1 liter saline to irigation with pressure or power hydro dissection tool to vacuum necrotic tissue
Important to identify PAD because increase risk amputation Infection / ulceration increase blood demand from foot
30 times more prevalent in diabetics Diabetics get arthrosclerosis obliterans or lead pipe arteries Calcification of the media Often increased blood flow with lack of elastic properties of the arterioles Not considered to be a primary cause of foot ulcers
