Defnition

• The Diabetic Foot may be defined as a syndrome in which neuropathy, angiopathy, and infection will lead to tissue breakdown resulting in morbidity and possible amputation ( WHO 1995 )

Page 3: Diabetic foot

World wide (2013):

2nd Place among world countries !!!!!

Epidemiology and facts

Page 4: Diabetic foot

Epidemiology and facts

• The overall prevalence of diabetic foot complications was 3.3%

• whilst the prevalence of foot ulcer, gangrene, and amputations were 2.05%.

• The prevalence of foot complications increased with age and diabetes duration predominantly amongst the male patients.

• Diabetic foot is more commonly seen among type 2 patients, although it is more prevalent among

type 1 diabetic patients.

high risk foot? Long duration and uncontrolled D.M …Plus one or more:• Peripheral neuropathy• Peripheral vascular disease• Trauma • Previous ulcers• Diabetic nephropathy or retinopathy• Obesity• Lack of education• Male gender ??!!

FOOT AT RISK

Page 7: Diabetic foot

Pathophysiology • The critical triad of :1- Neuropathy2- Foot deformity &3- Trauma ……………

will lead to ulcer

The presentation in the majority of pts is an infected ulcer!!

Page 8: Diabetic foot

Neuropathy• Sensory : lack of protective sensation

(unrecognized trauma)

• Motor : Change in foot anatomy (Pressure points) & altered gait and deformity

• Autonomic : Lack of sweat ( dry & cracked skin )

Stages Of Ulcer Development

Page 10: Diabetic foot

Assessment

• History• Physical examinations• Investigations• Patient• Limb or foot• Wound

Page 11: Diabetic foot

Assessment………..History

• Generally: fever, chills, sweats, vom…• Condition : confused, depressed….• Socially : neglected, lack of home sup.• Neuropathy : Numbness, loss of sens. burning, tingling, numbness & nocturnal leg

pains. • Others : duration, diabetic control, previous

ulceration, smoking, HTN....

Page 12: Diabetic foot

Assessment………Clinical Ex.What to look for ?• V.S : tachycardia, hypotension…• Signs of volume depletion• Cognitive state:delirium,stupor, coma• Limb-Foot: 1- Biomechnics: deformities, change pressure points2- Vascular status ( arterial, venous, ABI, ischemia, gangrene…3- Neuropathy ( light touch, vibration, monofilament pressure 4- Examining the feet for structural abnormalities such as nails, calluses,

hammer toes, claw toes and flat foot 5-other : tenia pedis , infection , change in color , hygiene .

Page 13: Diabetic foot

Diabetic Foot Examination • D deformity• I infection• A atrophic nails• B breakdown of skin• E oedema• T temperature• I ischemia • C callosities• S skin colour

Page 14: Diabetic foot

Neurologic assessment Temperature Vibration Sense Pressure Sense Light Touch Proprioception (Romberg’s Sign) Superficial Pain Reflexes

Page 15: Diabetic foot

• The monofilament should be placed against intact skin (without callus) and allowed to buckle.

• The patient should have his or her eyes closed during testing and be given a forced choice i.e. asked “ Do you feel the pressure at time A or time B?”

Monofilament Test:

Page 16: Diabetic foot
Page 17: Diabetic foot

Testing 10 sites (plantar to toes and metatarsal heads 1, 3 and 5, plantar midfoot medial and lateral and planter heal , 1st web space

• The person who cannot feel at least 7 of 10 pedal sites tested is considered to have an absent protective threshold.

Ulcer assessment

1. Site, size and shape2. Edges3. Establish its depth and involvement of deep structures4. Examine it for purulent exudates, necrosis, sinus tracts, and

odor5. Assess the surrounding tissue for signs of edema, cellulitis,

abscess, and fluctuation6. Perform a vascular evaluation. 7. The ability to gently probe through the ulcer to bone has been

shown to be highly predictive of osteomyelitis.8. Establish the ulcer's etiology9. Exclude systemic infection

Page 19: Diabetic foot

Classification of diabetic foot ulcerWagner Grading System• Grade 0 skin intact but "foot at risk"• Grade 1: Superficial Diabetic Ulcer & localised• Grade 2: Deep ulcer & extension

– Involves ligament, tendon, joint capsule or fascia– No abscess or Osteomyelitis

• Grade 3: Deep ulcer with abscess or Osteomyelitis• Grade 4: Gangrene to portion of forefoot• Grade 5: Extensive gangrene of entire foot

Assessment…….Infection

Infection is diagnosed clinically by • The presence of purulent secretionOR• At least 2 of the cardinal local manifestations

of inflamation• Hotness• Redness• Swelling• Function loss or pain

Page 27: Diabetic foot

Classification of diabetic foot infection

• Minimal inflammation with no pus = 1• 2 or more signs or ~2cm erythema around the

ulcer or superficial path. and no systemic manifistations = 2

• As above plus deeper infection, lymphangitis ,abscess or gangrene =3

• As above with systemic or metabolic instability = 4

Summary of ulcer

Page 31: Diabetic foot

Investigations

• Bloodwork for high BS, DKA, hyperosmolar state…..• Gram staining and culture• Imaging- Plain X-ray- MRI ?- Doppler – Angiogram- US? For deep abscess- Doppler and ABI

Page 32: Diabetic foot

Prevention

• Early detection of neuropathy• Educate patient about- Optimizing glycemic control- Using appropriate footwear- Avoid foot trauma- Perform daily self examination- Smoking cessation

• Refer patient with critical ischemia

Page 33: Diabetic foot

Five cornerstones of management of the diabetic foot

The situation can be changed & possiblyreduce amputation rates between 50% -85%

by:1- Regular inspection and examination of the foot and patient

education2- Identification of the foot at risk.3- Education of patient, family and healthcare providers.4- Appropriate footwear.5- Multidisciplinary approach & treatment of ulcerative and

non-ulcer pathology

Page 34: Diabetic foot

Patient education Decreases the chance of occurrence

– Foot hygiene– Daily inspection– Proper footwear– Prompt treatment of new lesions

Must take an active role in their care– Disease management– Routine nail care– Ulcer management

Elective surgery to correct structural deformities before ulcerations occur

Page 35: Diabetic foot

A multidisciplinary approach

• Providing : - Debridement, - wound care, - Adequate vascular supply,- Metabolic control, - Antimicrobial treatment and -Relief of pressure (offloading) are essential in the

treatment of foot ulcer.

Page 36: Diabetic foot

Approach to foot wound in diabetics

• ……Principles of wound care1- Determine the need for surgeryRanges from debridement to revascularizationDetermine life- or limb-threatening condition ( NF, GG, Ischemia…. )

2- Formulate wound care plan- Daily inspection- Dressing and debridement as needed- Removal of pressure…..

3- Twice- weekly follow up for outpatients4- WBC, ESR, C-RP, culture … are of limited value

Page 37: Diabetic foot

Approach to diabetic foot ulcer

According to ulcer stage0 At-risk foot, no ulceration : Patient education,

accommodative footwear, regular clinical examination 1 Superficial ulceration, not infected :Offloading with total

contact cast (TCC), walking brace, or special footwear 2 Deep ulceration exposing tendons or joints : Surgical

debridement, wound care, offloading, culture-specific antibiotics

3 Extensive ulceration or abscess : Debridement or partial amputation, offloading, culture-specific antibiotics

Page 38: Diabetic foot

Approach to ischemic diabetic foot

Ischemia Classification A Not ischemic : no treatmentB Ischemia without gangrene: Noninvasive vascular testing, vascular consultation if symptomatic

C Partial (forefoot) gangrene :Vascular consultation and debridementD Complete foot gangrene : Major extremity amputation, vascular consultation

Page 39: Diabetic foot

Approach to diabetic foot infection

Antibiotics Empirical antibiotics • Benzylpenicillin or ampicillin – Streptococcus sp. • Oxacillin, nafcillin or 1 st generation cephalosporin (eg. cefazolin) –

Staphylococcus sp. • Quinolone + aminoglycoside (gentamycin) – Pseudomonas sp. • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus – vancomycin or cotri-moxazole • Clostridial species are sensitive to a combination of penicillin G and clindamycin Duration of antibiotic treatment * 1-2 weeks course for mild to moderate infections * more than 2 weeks for more serious infections * 6 - 8weeks for osteomyelitis * If all infected bone is removed,a shorter course (1-2 weeks) of antibiotics, as for

soft tissue infection, may be adequate

Offlaoding Remove pressure from the affected site is essential

•How? -Footwear -Specialised

offloading devices
