Neuropathic ulcer - diagnosis
• At site of repeated pressure– Dorsum of toes (shoes)– Under metatarsal heads
• Painless
• Surrounded by callus

Page 11: Baker IDI
Ischaemic ulcer - diagnosis
• At the end of the circulation– Apex of toes– heel
• Painful
• No callus
• Foot cool with weak/absent pulses

Neuropathic ulcer - management
• Relieve pressure
• Debride callus and infected tissue
• Treat infection
• Appropriate dressings

Ischaemic ulcer - management
• Debride callus and infected tissue
• Restore circulation (surgery/angioplasty)
• Treat infection
• Appropriate dressings

Infected ulcers
• Infections usually polymicrobial
• Swabs fail to differentiate between infecting and colonising organisms
• Treat if local clinical signs of infection
• Use broad spectrum (Augmentin, clindamycin, ciprofloxacin, cephalexin)
• Usually need minimum of 2 weeks treatment

Diabetic foot infections
• 84% polymicrobial
• 47% included aerobes and anaerobes
• Mean of 2.7 organism per culture of aerobes
• Mean of 2.3 organisms per culture of aerobes

Summary
• Annual foot examination to screen for risk factors is essential
• Foot ulcer management depends on type of ulcer and presence of infection
• Pressure relief is central to the management of neuropathic ulcers
