Introduction
1-4% of diabetics develop foot ulcer annually, 25% in
lifetime
45-75% of all lower extremity amputations are in diabetics
85% of these preceded by foot ulcer
Two-thirds of elderly patients undergoing amputation do
not return to independent life
Foot problems account for largest number of hospital bed
days used for diabetic patients
25-50% of costs related to inpatient diabetes care
attributable to diabetic foot
Why worry about Diabetic
Feet?
Diabetic foot infections are common,
expensive and probably increasing in
frequency
The most frequent reason for
hospitalization in diabetic patients
The most common reason for amputations
Current treatment often fails to conform to
available evidence/ guidelines
optimal treatment requires a
multidisciplinary approach
85.000 lower extremity amputations
per year

PAD Risk Factors
NON-MODIFIABLE RISKS:
Age. The risk of limb loss due to PAD increases with age. People 65 or older are two to three times
more likely to have an amputation.
Gender. Men with PAD are twice as likely to undergo an amputation as women.
Race/ethnicity. Some racial and ethnic groups have a higher risk of amputation (i.e., African
Americans, Latino Americans, and Native Americans). This is because they are at increased risk for
diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Family history of heart disease. A family history of cardiovascular disease is an indicator for risk at
developing PAD.
MODIFIABLE RISKS:
Cigarette smoking. Smoking is a major risk factor for PAD. Smokers may have four times the risk of
PAD than nonsmokers.
Obesity. People with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or higher are more likely to develop heart disease
and stroke even if they have no other risk factors.
Diabetes mellitus. Having diabetes puts individuals at greater risk of developing PAD as well as other
cardiovascular diseases.
Physical inactivity. Physical activity increases the distance that people with PAD can walk without
pain and also helps decrease the risk of heart attack or stroke. Supervised exercise programs are one
of the treatments for PAD patients.
High blood cholesterol. High cholesterol contributes to the build-up of plaque in the arteries, which
can significantly reduce the blood's flow. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. Managing
cholesterol levels is essential to prevent or treat PAD.
High blood pressure. When blood pressure remains high, the lining of the artery walls becomes
damaged. Many PAD patients also have high blood pressure.
High levels of Homocysteine. This is an amino acid found in plasma (blood). Some recent studies
show higher levels are associated with PAD.

Symptoms
Ranging from no symptoms,
intermittent claudication, rest
pain, tissue loss, and finally
non-healing wound / ulcer and
gangrene.
The most common symptoms of
PAD is claudicatio intermittent
Cramping, or aching in the
calves, thighs, or buttocks that
appears reproducibly with
walking exercise and is
relieved by rest.

Diagnosis :
Two reasons : Identify patient who has high risk of subsequent MI or
stroke and to elicit and treat symptoms of PAD
A variety of noninvasive examinations are available to assess the
presence and degree of peripheral arterial disease
Ankle-brachial index (ABI)
Exercise treadmill test
Segmental limb pressures
Segmental volume plethysmography
Duplex ultrasonography
An ABI of ≤0.90 has a high degree of sensitivity and
specificity for the diagnosis, using arteriography as
the gold standard
INTERPRETATION VALUE
Normal 0.91 - 1.30
Mild Obstruction 0.70 - 0.91
Moderate Obstruction 0.40 - 0.69
Severe Obstruction < 0.40
Poorly Compressible > 1.30

PAD in diabetics has a poor prognosis
• PAD is 20 x more common in diabetics than non diabetics
• 10% of diabetics get an ulcer (10% are purely ischaemic, 45% are
ischaemic with associated neuropathy, infection, biomechanical
abnormalities and Charcot deformity)

MANAGEMENT
Management of diabetic foot infections requires
1. Attentive wound management
2. Good nutrition
3. Antimicrobial therapy
4. Glycemic control
Empiric therapy
Initiation of treatment prior to determination of a
firm diagnosis
Definitive therapy
Organism and susceptibilities are known
Prophylaxis
Prevent initial or recurrent infection
Duration of therapy
1. Patients with infection also requiring surgical debridement
should receive intravenous antibiotic therapy perioperatively.
2. In the absence of osteomyelitis, antibiotic therapy should be
administered in conjunction with attentive wound care until
signs of infection appear to have resolved (2 to 4 weeks of
therapy is usually sufficient).
3. If there is a good response to parenteral therapy, oral agents
can be used to complete the course of treatment.
4. If clinical evidence of infection persists beyond the expected
duration, consider issues of patient adherence to therapy,
development of antibiotic resistance, an undiagnosed deep
abscess, or ischemia
58
Duration of therapy
Mild infection : 1-2 weeks
Moderate infection : 2 to 4 weeks, unless
osteomyelitis
Severe infection : soft tissue up to 4 weeks
unless osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis: depends on degree of resection
( 4 weeks – 6 month of antibiotic therapy )
