The Foot in Diabetes, 4th Edition


Description: Since the publication of the last edition, there have been important developments in the field of diabetic foot care and its scientific basis. New technologies have been introduced, e.g. vacuum therapy, new casting techniques, the use of hormones and growth factors in wound healing; there have been advances in the understanding of the biomechanics of foot problems; there are increased problems with multidrug-resistant organisms and new international guidelines have been introduced for the management of infectious disease; finally, there has been significant progress in the use of cytokines, metalloproteinase inhibitors, stem cells and gene therapy in wound healing. All of these issues are reviewed in the book, with a focus on practical applications and management.
