Abstract

 Introduction: Diabetic foot disease is a serious medical, social and economic problem and it continues to be a prominent area of discussion and research. It is a major cause for morbidity, which may lead to amputation of the foot. In developed countries, it has been estimated that 20% of all diabetic admissions to the hospital are due to foot problems and 5 out of 6 major amputations are due to diabetic foot disease. Methodology: A detail history of all the patients were taken, relevant investigations were performed, special attention is taken for estimation of Glycosylated Hemoglobin level in all patients. All operative and medical management findings were noted and patients were followed up at intervals. All the data received during this procedure are placed in a special pro-forma that is prepared for the said purpose. Results: Among the 50 patients of diabetic foot 2 cases (4%) were Grade I, 3 cases (6%) were Grade II, 8 cases (16%) were Grade III, 36 cases (72%) were Grade IV, 1 case (2%) under Grade V and no cases were recorded under Grade 0. Conclusion: Ulceration and infection of the diabetic foot poses a big problem with regard to bed occupation in surgical wards owing to longer duration of stay.
