More than 50% of all lower extremity amputations occur in patients with diabetes. This phenomenon is largely preventable through risk factor reduction and proper foot care education. In cases where lower extremity injury or infection are present prompt and aggressive care can preserve the limb. New techniques for revascularization to ulcerated areas of the foot are promoting wound healing and improving long term outcomes.
