Mechanism of diabetic foot ulcer

 Mechanism of diabetic foot ulcer

The mechanism of foot ulcers in diabetic patients is caused by many reasons. The main cause is degenerative neuropathy. A study of people with diabetes found that these three factors accounted for more than 63% of foot ulcers.  56% of wounds due to lack of blood are an additional factor that slows wound healing. Most of the lesions are a combination of both peripheral neuropathies. and ischemia (nerve ischemic), a few ischemic ulcers. Originally, infections were thought to be one of the causes of wound healing. Today, however, infections are thought to be an effect rather than a cause.

Foot Complications in Diabetics

 Foot Complications in Diabetics

Complications of diabetic foot (diabetic foot) are found in the lives of diabetics. With a 25% chance of developing foot ulcers and having a foot ulcer, they are more likely than nondiabetics to have their feet amputated, making this complication a major quality-of-life issue. Disability and death also contributed to high medical costs.

Foot complications in diabetics are a preventable condition. Provide preventive advice through screening

The prevalence of foot ulcers in diabetic patients is approximately 2-12%, corresponding to a 2% annual incidence of ulcers. The ulcer recurrence rate is approximately 40% at 1 year, 60% at 3 years, and 65% at 5 years, making diabetic foot ulcers the most common cause of amputation in developed countries.

About 1% of diabetics were found to have their legs amputated. In addition, diabetics with foot ulcers were found to be 2.5 times more likely to die at 5 years than those without foot ulcers, and post-amputation diabetics had a 70% higher 5-year mortality rate.
