Abstract

 Diabetic foot ulcer is almost always associated with reconstructive challenges because of associated morbidities. Involvement of multiple systems and organs makes the disease more complex in nature hence a multidisciplinary team approach is required for its management. Owing to raised blood sugar, micro angiopathy and neuropathy the healing is usually delayed and prolonged wound bed preparation is needed before definitive reconstruction. Wound assessment is mandatory in such long duration wounds to continue or change the treatment plan according to the response of the wound. Subjective assessment of wound may not be an accurate measurement of the wound response hence an objective and accurate assessment technique is mandatory for monitoring the wound behavior. Through this article we present role of digital planimetry as an effective and accurate technique for wound measurement in diabetic foot ulcer.
