Foot ulcers occur in about 15% of diabetic patients in their
lifetime, with a major impact on their quality of life. Many
hospital admissions related to diabetes are due to foot ulcers,
which can result in prolonged hospital stay and increased
morbidity and mortality. A very large number of lower-extremity
amputations are performed every year on patients with diabetes
(80,000 at least in the USA). Most diabetes-related foot problems
can be prevented or their severity reduced by early detection
and treatment. Atlas of the Diabetic Foot
should contribute to improved foot care through raised awareness
of symptoms amongst healthcare professionals.
This
comprehensive Atlas of the Diabetic Foot provides:
*
250 colour photographs, graphs and imaging studies
* Educational examples taken from genuine case reports
* A reference guide for identifying patients at risk of foot
ulceration
* Illustration of common problems such as neuropathic and
neuroischaemic ulcers, ischaemia and infections
* This book will be of interest to diabetologists, endocrinologists,
