Approach to Diabetic Foot Treatment

A personalized approach investigating causes beyond the wound and addressing infection control and limb preservation together.

In diabetic foot assessment, loss of sensation, circulation, infection, pressure points and foot structure matter as much as the wound's appearance.

The treatment plan is based on the patient's clinical condition and daily needs, aiming to preserve the foot and its function as much as possible.

  • Priority on limb preservation
  • Comprehensive wound assessment
  • Infection and pressure control
  • Personalized follow-up plan
  • Multidisciplinary coordination

Comprehensive assessment

Wound depth and surrounding tissue condition are reviewed alongside circulation, sensation, deformity, pressure and signs of infection.

Limb-preserving planning

The aim is both wound closure and control of the factors causing the wound to develop or recur.

  • Appropriate wound care
  • Pressure relief
  • Infection management
  • Surgical assessment when indicated

Teamwork

Working with relevant specialists for additional needs, such as circulation or metabolic control, supports the safety of the plan.

Follow-up and prevention of recurrence

After healing, recommendations for shoes, insoles, daily checks and follow-up are planned according to risk level.
