AMIT JAIN’S CODING SYSTEM FOR DIABETIC FOOT ULCER
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Invention - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Diabetic foot is a common complication of diabetes and based on the new modern Amit Jain‟s classification for diabetic foot complications, it encompasses various pathological lesions like abscess, cellulitis, necrotizing fasciitis, wet gangrene, ulcers, etc. There are various classifications for ulcer in diabetic foot. Each has its own merits and demerits. The author in this article proposes new coding systems for these ulcers that are similar to TNM staging used in cancers. Apart from forming a common language, these coding systems also aims in standardizing and improvising the diabetic foot practice around the world which has been the very purpose of Amit Jain‟s system of practice for diabetic foot.
