The key to treatment is daily sterile dressing till the formation of healthy granulation tissue, infection control by appropriate use of antibiotics, surgical interventions such as debridement or amputation if needed.
Methods: It will be a observational study, done on the patients with Diabetic foot . It will be conducted at Dept. of General Surgery, J.N.M.C. and AVBRH, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha of DMIMS (DU). The study will be conducted on patients of foot ulcers.
Objectives:
- To evaluate the microbiological and clinical characteristics of diabetic foot infection
- To analyze the outcomes of a patient with diabetic foot with underlying risk factors HBA1c, Hypertension, Smoking, Diabetic Neuropathy, Recurrence, Obesity, Peripheral arterial diseases.
- To analyze the association of Risk factors in the causation of Diabetic foot.
- To predict outcome parameters based on Risk factors and its treatment modalities.
