Diabetes is an increasingly common disease and although it effects multiple organs, one of the most feared symptoms of the disease is foot disease, ulceration and amputation. If foot disease is treated in a timely manner it can be managed but if care is delayed or poorly executed the consequences can be severe, which makes the general historical trend to de-emphasize foot disease particularly concerning. This text is designed for both general clinicians and specialists who are caring for patients with diabetes and foot disease. The text is designed to be easily accessible providing summaries of the most recent research, highlights of current controversies, and predictions about the future of the field. Articles written by experts in the field are organized in nine sections: General Aspects, Infection, Ischemia, Neuropathy, Wounds and Ulceration, Surgical Intervention, Charcot, Amputation and Biomechanics and Prevention.
