After
an overview of the principles of care for diabetes and its
complications as the number of diabetic patients grows, 22
contributions to The Diabetic Foot: Medical and Surgical
Management examine multidisciplinary aspects of
diabetic foot disease--the primary cause of patients' hospitalization.
Such factors include: escalating health care costs, the physiology
and pathophysiology of wound healing, diabetic polyneuropathy,
clinical features and diagnosis of microvascular and macrovascular
disease, foot biomechanics, radiographic changes, treatment
of infections and chronic wounds, local and surgical care,
amputation and rehabilitation, living skin equivalents for
ulcers, noninvasive surgical procedures, and preventive footwear.
The Diabetic Foot: Medical and Surgical Management includes
b&w and eight color plates of presenting symptoms, and
photos of accommodative footwear.
Review
of The Diabetic Foot: Medical and Surgical Management:
“This
book is a must for any practitioner treating diabetic foot
patients. With an array of authors from renowned institutions,
this book has satisfactorily taken on the enormous task of
providing current information on the management of the diabetic
foot, while reinforcing well-established protocols, principles,
and treatments. Particulalry well done is the chapter on clincal
examination and identification of the at-risk patient, which
presents key questions for identifying ulcer risk and assessing
a diabetic foot wound. Several chapters informatively and
clearly address the vascular complications and surgical treatments
available. Also well-covered is diabetic polyneuropathy. In
this challenging yet common complication of diabetes, the
author does an excellent job of classifying various syndromes
of diabetic neuropathy, including differential diagnosis,
causes, and management. The surgical chapters describe an
array of options for the surgical practitioner. Of note is
the section on amputations and rehabilitation in which the
authors provide an innovative view of amputations as a procedure
to enable the patient to return to productive community activity
instead of failure or the start of disability. It is a pleasure
to review such an insightful book full of information, new
and old, that can be easily incorporated into the daily treatment
of the diabetic foot patient. I highly recommend this book
as an additional reference for those involved in the complicated
task of medical and surgical management of the diabetic foot.”-
