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.
Every wound is individual
Photos or general information cannot establish a diagnosis; seek prompt health assessment for an open wound, discharge, unpleasant odor, color change or deterioration in your general condition.
