This book is the fourth written by the author on “Diabetic Foot”, the earlier books being Diabetic Foot Problems (2008), The Diabetic Foot (2012), and Surgery for Diabetic Foot (2016), all books published by World Scientific Publishing Company Private Limited. It is written as a comprehensive and practical guide for General Practitioners (GPs) who often manage patients with diabetic foot complications. Topics written include types of diabetic foot complications, the basic science involved including the pathogenesis of diabetic foot and the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot, assessment of the diabetic foot, and the holistic treatment of diabetic foot — endocrine control, nutritional control, and choosing the appropriate wound dressing and appropriate antibiotic.
