Different Modalities in Management of Neuropathic Ulcer in Diabetic Foot Patients

Abstract

Neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers present a serious complication to the diabetic population that can ultimately result in major amputation of the lower limb. Moreover diabetic foot problems impose a socioeconomic burden. There for prevention early detection and proper management of Diabetic foot ulcers are of most importance. This is the responsibility of both the patient and health care systems alike. All patients with diabetes should have a thorough foot examination at least annually; those with risk factors (neuropathy, a history of ulcers, vascular disease, or foot deformities) require more frequent monitoring. Patients with sensory loss require specific care and should be educated regarding foot care.
