Diabetic Neuropathic Foot

چکیده
Diabetes mellitus is a disease of complications and Diabetic Foot Syndrome is an important problem confronting society and health professionals. In USA one in four diabetics sustains foot ulcer and 40% of them lose their feet [1]. It accounts for 70% of non-traumatic amputations. In Joslin Diabetes Clinic, 25% admissions are due to foot ulcers. In Indian scene, the data is limited. In the study conducted in JIPMER [2], diabetic foot ulcers constituted 1.525 hospital admissions per thousand out-patient attendance.

Clawed toes in the diabetic foot: neuropathy, intrinsic muscle volume, and plantar aponeurosis thickness
Introduction Clawed toes, defined as extension of the metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) and flexion of the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints (IPJ), have been associated with the diabetic foot. One theory states that this deformity is caused by an imbalance between the extrinsic and intrinsic foot muscles [1,2]. However, Bus et al. found a 73% decrease in intrinsic muscle cross sectional...
متن کاملThe forefoot-to-rearfoot plantar pressure ratio is increased in severe diabetic neuropathy and can predict foot ulceration.
OBJECTIVE We have previously demonstrated that high plantar pressures can predict foot ulceration in diabetic patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate both the relationship between forefoot and rearfoot plantar pressure in diabetic patients with different degrees of peripheral neuropathy and their role in ulcer development. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Diabetic patients of a 30-m...
متن کاملZinc Hyaluronate in the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: a Controlled Randomized Open-label Study
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of zinc hyaluronate on neuropathic and neuroischemic diabetic foot ulcers in a controlled, randomized, open-label trial. Fifty-nine patients with 71 ulcers (44 neuropathic and 27 neuroischemic) were treated with standard methods. In 35 patients (43 ulcers), zinc hyaluronate (Hyaluricht, Gedeon Richter, Hungary) was added locally. The rest of 24 pa...
متن کاملFoot Muscle Energy Reserves in Diabetic Patients Without and With Clinical Peripheral Neuropathy
OBJECTIVE To investigate changes in the foot muscle energy reserves in diabetic non-neuropathic and neuropathic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We measured the phosphocreatinine (PCr)/inorganic phosphate (Pi) ratio, total (31)P concentration, and the lipid/water ratio in the muscles in the metatarsal head region using MRI spectroscopy in healthy control subjects and non-neuropathic and ne...
متن کاملAmputation and mortality in new-onset diabetic foot ulcers stratified by etiology.
OBJECTIVE Foot ulcers and their complications are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes. The present study aims to examine the long-term outcome in terms of amputations and mortality in patients with new-onset diabetic foot ulcers in subgroups stratified by etiology. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients presenting with new ulcers (duration <1 month) to a dedicated diabetic...
متن کاملTotal contact casts were better than removable cast walkers or half shoes for healing diabetic neuropathic foot ulcers.
Patients 75 patients with diabetes who had clinically significant loss of protective sensation ( > 25 V) as measured with a biothesiometer, >1 palpable foot pulse or a transcutaneous oximetry measurement > 40 mm Hg at the dorsum of the fore foot, and a superficial neuropathic plantar diabetic foot ulcer corresponding to grade 1A (University of Texas Diabetic Wound Classification System). Exclus...
