DIABETIC FOOT ULCERATION

• Duration of ulcer• Previous ulceration• Pain/sensation• Vascular history

Significant History

General Foot Exam• Vascular• Neurologic• Structural deformity• Dermatologic

Vascular• Palpate pedal pulses• Noninvasive vascular

studies

Diagnostic Imaging• Plain radiographs• Imaging studies – CT – MRI – Bone scan – Ultrasound

Ulcer Examination• Classifi cation• Size, depth• Location• Deformity• Extent of necrosis• Probe to bone

* Additional diagnostic procedures as indicated

Peripheral VascularConsultation

Presence of GANGRENE

PAD Infection

• Wound Infection• Osteomyelitis

Proceed to Pathway #4

WOUND CARE• Debridement – Sharp – Enzymatic – Hydrosurgery – Ultrasound• Moisture balance/dressings• Advanced wound

management – Growth factors – Bioengineered tissues – HBO – Negative pressure

(NPWT)

Initial Ulcer Treatment

OFF-LOADING• Bed rest• Surgical shoe/healing sandal• Bracing• Total contact casts• Wheelchair• Crutches

Proceed to Pathway #2

Tx PAD

VALU

ATE

If ulcer recurs, treat appropriately:• Re-evaluate vascularity• Rule out osteomyelitis

Long-term Managementof Healed Ulcer• Patient education• Frequent re-evaluation• Protective shoes, etc.,

see below:

• Bracing• Extra depth shoes• Custom moulded shoes• Multiple density insoles• Orthoses

WOUND HEALED

WOUND FAILS TO HEAL

• Re-evaluate vascularity

• Re-evaluate for infection/osteomyelitis

• Biopsy to assess for malignancy

Surgical Management• Debridement – Soft tissue – Bone• Exostectomy• Correct deformity• Plastic surgery
