Atlas of the Diabetic Foot Summary
| Foot ulcers occur in about 15% of diabetic patients in their lifetime, with a major impact on their quality of life. Many hospital admissions related to diabetes are due to foot ulcers, which can result in prolonged hospital stay and increased morbidity and mortality. A very large number of lower-extremity amputations are performed every year on patients with diabetes (80,000 at least in the USA). Most diabetes-related foot problems can be prevented or their severity reduced by early detection and treatment. This book should contribute to improved foot care through raised awareness of symptoms amongst healthcare professionals. This comprehensive atlas provides: 250 colour photographs, graphs and imaging studies Educational examples taken from genuine case reports A reference guide for identifying patients at risk of foot ulceration Illustration of common problems such as neuropathic and neuroischaemic ulcers, ischaemia and infections This book will be of interest to diabetologists, endocrinologists, podiatrists, specialist nurses and orthopaedics specia |
