Abstract
|
|
|
The great majority of diabetic patients have diabetic foot symptoms. Significant recent advances in reconstructive surgery, as well as improvements in the management of both diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease, make these patients
eligible
for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Many diabetic patients who would previously have had below-the-knee amputations are now having their complex for wounds reconstructed. In addition to the metabolic consequences of the disease and the
increased
susceptibility to infection and wound healing complications, infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease, peripheral neuropathy, and hemorrheologic changes are addressed.
