diabetes mellitus. Patients with diabetes mellitus have two to four times higher risk of
cardiovascular disease and up to three times increase in mortality than in the case of
nondiabetics. The accelerated rate of atherosclerosis seen in diabetes mellitus predisposes
patients to coronary artery disease and to higher rates of myocardial infarction (MI) and
death.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is also a major risk factor for lower extremity
amputation,especiallyinpatientswithdiabetes.Moreover,evenfortheasymptomaticpatient,
PADisamarkerforsystemicvasculardiseaseinvolvingcoronary,cerebral,andrenalvessels,
leadingtoanelevatedriskofevents,suchasMI,stroke,anddeath.

Theendothelialcellliningofthearterialvasculatureisabiologicallyactiveorgan.Most
patients with diabetes, including those with PAD,demonstrate abnormalities of endothelial
function and vascular regulation and abnormalities of endothelial function can render the
arterialsystemsusceptibletoatherosclerosisanditsassociatedadverseoutcomes.

ThemostcommonsymptomofPADisintermittentclaudication,definedaspain,cramping,
orachinginthecalves,thighs,orbuttocksthatappearsreproduciblywithwalkingexerciseand

The initial assessment of PAD in patients with diabetes should always begin with a
thorough historyand physical. Ensure a completewalking historycomparing functiontoday

Calcified, poorly compressible vessels inthe elderly and some patients with diabetes may
give you false values. The ABI may also be falsely negative in symptomatic patients with

Angiograms and other invasive vascular studies are more conclusive andare generally

Coordinated care withan interventional radiologist and a vascular specialist is an integral
component of the team approach.

No angiographic factors were predictive of limb
salvage.37 Vascular reconstructive surgery of the impaired limb may be required prior to
debridement and/or partial amputation foot surgery. Other options include endovascular
surgery(i.e., stents/balloon angioplasty)forwhichlong-term yields havenot currentlybeen
reported. Vasodilator medications have not been found to promote wound healing in the
ischemic foot. Treatment for such patients is individualized taking into account all the
contributingfactors.
MusculoskeletalComplicationsofDiabetesMellitus
Diabetes leads to changes in connective tissue by glycosylation of proteins, microvascular
abnormalitieswithdamagetobloodvesselsandnerves,andcollagenaccumulationinskinand
periarticularstructures.38Musculoskeletal complicationsaremostcommonlyseeninpatients
with a long-standinghistoryoftype 1 diabetes.Some havea knowndirectassociationwith

LimitedJointMobility
Limited joint mobility in the hands is also known as diabetic cheiroarthropathy, and is
characterizedbythick,tight,waxyskinmainlyonthedorsalaspectofthehands,withflexion

CarpalTunnelSyndrome
Carpaltunnelsyndromeanddiabeticpolyneuropathyarecommonconditionsinpatientswith
type1andtype2diabetes.Theprevalenceofcarpaltunnelsyndromeisthoughttobehigherin
patients with diabetic polyneuropathy than inthe general population,and the treatment less

2011 andJuly2012and comparedthem with a controlgroupofherniatednucleuspulposus
patients.Atotalof997patientswithcarpaltunnelsyndromeand594controlswereincluded.
Prevalenceoftype2diabeteswas11.5%inthecarpaltunnelsyndromegroupversus7.2%in
the control group (odds ratio [OR] 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16 to 2.41). In
multivariateanalysesadjustingforgender,age,andbodymassindex,type2diabeteswasnot
associatedwithcarpal tunnelsyndrome(OR0.99; 95% CI0.66 to1.47). Nodifferencesin
duration of diabetes mellitus, microvascular complications, or glycemic control between

DEBRIDEMENT
The removal of necrotic tissue is an integral component in the treatment of ulcerative
wounds.66 The types ofdebridementavailable include: surgical, mechanical, autolytic, and
enzymatic.Autolyticdebridementoccursnaturallyinamoistwoundenvironmentwhenarterial
perfusion and venous drainage are maintained. The use of enzymatic debridement and its
efficacy has been questioned in the literature and seems to have limited indications.

primarily with surgical instrumentation in the form of sharp debridement and rapid tissue

Generally, a moist wound environment has been showntofacilitate the healingprocess. In
addition,thebandageappliedshouldprovideprotectionfromtraumaandlocalcontamination,
allowgaseousexchange,thermallyinsulatethewound,absorbexcessexudate,andprovidefor

thesizeanddepthofthedefect,itslocationonthefoot,andthequalityofthewoundsurface.
Normal sterile saline method ofwound managementmayrequire frequent reassessment and
dressing changes up to several times daily to balance the wound between maceration and
desiccation. Selection of the type of product to use varies between different degrees of
absorbent dressings for exudative wounds versus those that encourage moisture for dry
nonexudativedefects.
73

Hydrocolloids,alginates,orfoams:absorbentdressingsforexudativewounds
