Get the Balance Right: How Much Pressure Is Too Much for the Diabetic Foot? #ActAgainstAmputation

When it comes to neuropathic (and likely neuroischemic) diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), pressure and perfusion are often at odds. In an elegant study, Zhang and colleagues from Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have quantified how the skin’s microcirculation responds to physiologic, gait-like pressure—and when that response begins to fail . 🚶‍♂️Walking the Line: Pressure...

The Thermo-Pressure Concept: A New Model in Diabetic Foot Risk Stratification

The Thermo-Pressure Concept: A New Model in Diabetic Foot Risk Stratification This from our Maltese SALSAmigos, Perren and coworkers Abstract: Elevated foot pressure and high temperatures have been proposed as predictive factors for diabetic foot ulceration; however, on their own, their predictive value is still questionable. This pilot study hypothesized that combining these two measurements... Continue Reading →
