Synopsis
of Levin and O'Neal's The Diabetic Foot
This guide for the interdisciplinary team treating diabetic
patients addresses the medical, surgical, psychosocial, and
medicolegal aspects of care. The book provides a thorough
overview of the foundations of diabetic foot management, including
data on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of diabetic foot
lesions and foot biomechanics. The bulk of the book provides
a quick reference for the diagnosis, medical, and surgical
management of acute clinical problems such as foot ulcer,
infection, or acute Charcot neuroarthropathy. These chapters
also help the clinician assess controversial areas of management
such as painful neuropathy and the role of hyperbaric oxygen,
and provide surgeons with conservative approaches that preserve
the weight-bearing function of the foot. The entire interdisciplinary
team is addressed in regard to patient education, the role
of the wound care nurse, psychological aspects, and the impact
of managed care on treatment options. The book concludes with
a look at the medicolegal considerations relevant to all clinicians
providing diabetic foot care.
