Treatment-based classification system for assessment and care of diabetic feet

DG Armstrong, LA Lavery and LB Harkless
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, USA.

Appropriate care of feet of patients with diabetes requires a clear, descriptive classification system that may be used to direct appropriate therapy and possibly predict outcome. Ideally, this system would be used by all participants in a multidisciplinary limb-salvage team. The authors report on a logical, treatment-oriented system that may improve communication, leading to a less complex, more predictable treatment course and, ultimately, an improved result.
