Abstract
Diabetic Foot. Tools for the Identification of the Foot at Risk and its Timely Intervention
Diabetic Foot is called an anatomical or functional alteration determined by a chronic process at the neuropathic level with or without the presence of peripheral vascular disease characterized by infection, ulcer and / or destruction of deep tissues. The main cause of injury to the diabetic foot is the use of inappropriate footwear, which is the triggering reason in most cases, it is for this reason that treatment in these patients is conditioned to the use of therapeutic footwear, management with Antibiotic medications in the presence of infections, non-surgical debridement agents, dressings, hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with poor wound healing and, in the worst case, non-traumatic amputation of the lower limb.
