Understanding Diabetic Foot Ulcers
A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that occurs in approximately 15% of patients with diabetes and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot. Diabetic foot ulcers can develop due to a combination of factors such as poor circulation, neuropathy (nerve damage), and foot deformities. Proper management and early treatment are crucial to prevent severe complications, including infection and amputation.
