Foot Ulcer Treatment

Specialized treatment for foot ulcers, open sores or wounds on the foot that penetrate through the skin and may extend to deeper tissues including tendons and bone. Foot ulcers are most commonly associated with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. Foot ulcers affect approximately 15% of people with diabetes during their lifetime and are the leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputations. They typically develop on the bottom of the foot over bony prominences where pressure is concentrated, particularly in patients with neuropathy who cannot feel the tissue damage occurring.
