Abstract:
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious complication of diabetes that results in significant morbidity and mortality. The lifetime risk of a person with diabetes developing foot ulceration is reported to be as high as 25% and a 50%–70% recurrence rate over the ensuing 5 years. Greater than 85% of major amputations in patients with diabetes are preceded by foot ulceration. Healing the diabetic foot ulcer has been a challenge. Over the past 20 years, significant research is done in this field of wound repair. The standard practices in DFU management include surgical debridement, dressings to facilitate a moist wound environment and exudate control, wound off-loading, vascular assessment, and infection and glycemic control. In addition to standard practices in DFU care, there are a wide range of agents available currently as adjuvant therapies The adjuvant therapies include non-surgical debridement agents, dressings and topical agents, CO2 laser, ultrasonic therapy, oxygen therapies, negative pressure wound therapy, hydrosurgery therapy, antibiotic beads, human growth factors, PHMB, acellular dermal matrix, lasers, split skin grafting with NPWT and many more.
