12 heel necroses were seen in a group of 596 geriatric patients. The patients average age was 73 years. 3 tentative causes for the development of heel necrosis were investigated. 1. Imobility, 2. Arterial occlusive disease, and 3. Diabetes. Immobility was demonstrable in all cases. Additionally, arterial occlusions of the leg were present in 7 and diabetes in 6 patients. The percentage of arterial occlusion and diabetes was significantly higher in the heel necrosis group than in the overall hospital cohort. The two diseases can be looked upon as risk factors for the development of heel necrosis.
在一组596名老年患者中发现了12例足跟坏死。患者的平均年龄为73岁。对足跟坏死发生的3个可能原因进行了调查。1. 活动受限；2. 动脉闭塞性疾病；3. 糖尿病。所有病例均显示有活动受限。此外，7例患者存在下肢动脉闭塞，6例患者患有糖尿病。足跟坏死组中动脉闭塞和糖尿病的比例明显高于全院队列。这两种疾病可被视为足跟坏死发生的危险因素。
