Diabetic foot is a complex condition that develops as a complication of advanced uncontrolled diabetes and is the leading cause of nontraumatic amputation in the Western adult population.
Very prevalent in the past, this severe and difficult-to-treat complication is of less frequent occurrence in recent years, thanks to the refinement of antidiabetic therapies on a personalized basis and the better glycemic control they allow in the long term, as well as the identification of preventive hygienic-behavioral expedients.
