“…Diyabetik ayak ülserlerinde infeksiyon oranı yüksektir ve ampütasyonun en önemli sebebi olduğu bildirilmiştir(40,174). İnfeksiyonlu diyabetik yarası olan hastalarda revaskülarizasyon veya debridman kararı hastanın başvuru zamanındaki yara ve genel sağlık durumuna göre belirlenir.…”

“…Elektif debridmanın amacı; yarayı kronik yaradan akut haline getirerek yara iyileşme aşamalarının bir noktada durmamasını sağlamaktır. Diyabetik ayak ülseri olan hastalarda, vasküler patolojiler sıklıkla eşlik ettiğinden her zaman debridmanla kanamalı dokuya ulaşmak mümkün olmayabilir(174). Bu gibi durumlarda sağlıklı parlak dokuya ulaşmak yeterlidir.…”

Surgical management of DF ulcers can be analyzed in five sections: (a) Urgent ulcer intervention; abscess drainage and/or debridement, (b) surgical interventions for vascular pathologies, (c) ulcer closure interventions; reconstruction methods; graft and flap surgery, (d) reconstruction of bone and foot pathologies for ulcer prevention and treatment (Charcot foot deformity, Achilles lengthening, tenotomy, and osteotomies, etc.), (e) minor and major amputations when necessary. 14) Amputation may be a more appropriate choice when infected tissue cannot be completely cleaned with debridement, when the patient is bedridden or has a non-functional extremity, when it is believed that adequate revascularization cannot be achieved by orthopedic and plastic surgical interventions, in cases where reconstruction is nearly impossible, and in dialysis patients. 15) The goal of post-DFI reconstruction is to allow the ankle to reach a neutral position and to make the plantar surface of the foot have a balanced contact with the ground. 16) Selected ulcer care products can be used based on the characteristics of the ulcer to support and accelerate ulcer healing, reduce the risk of complications, ensure patient comfort during treatment, and improve quality of life. 17) DF ulcers often develop due to improper shoe selection during the structural and biomechanical changes, resulting in fluid accumulation and callus formation around bone surfaces. 18) Orthoses, which distribute pressure over the widest possible area, are the most effective means of reducing plantar pressure in the foot. 19) Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is beneficial in addition to revascularization and antibiotic therapy, which are the primary treatments for pathologies causing tissue hypoxia, such as ischemia, infection, and edema. 20) Negative pressure ulcer therapy is an additional adjunct method to conventional techniques, and it can contribute to the healing process with the correct indications. 21) In cases where the infection is under control, active osteomyelitis is absent, topical epidermal growth factor (EGF) can be used for Meggitt-Wagner ulcer classification grade 1-3, and intralesional EGF applications can be used for grade 3-4 in addition to standard treatments. 22) Preventive medical practices in people with diabetes, collaborative efforts of the patients, their families, and the medical team, and regular patient education are necessary to prevent DF ulcer development. In the event of DF ulcer development, interdisciplinary collaboration in moderate/severe infections is essential for early treatment and infection prevention.
