Screening techniques to identify the diabetic patient at risk of ulceration

LR Simeone and A Veves
Department of Surgery, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Foot problems are common in diabetic patients, with neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease being the main causative factors. Identification of high-risk feet can be accomplished by using basic clinical skills and simple equipment. Limb amputation is the most preventable of the long-term diabetes complications and a multidisciplinary approach can achieve a dramatic reduction of major limb amputations.
