Summer 2013

Overview

• Importance of wound care• Lecture• Describe wounds• Activity• Evaluation

Importance of wound care

• 15-25% of all diabetics will have an ulcer in their lifetime

• Recurrence rate 40%• Amputation– 85% of lower-extremity amputation are preceded by

an ulcer– 5-year mortality rate following a BKA is ~50%– Amputation have varying psychosocial issues

accompanying– Most amputations are preventable

Diabetic foot ulceration

• Neuropathic– Neuropathy– Deformity – Minor trauma
