Abstract
Objective of the study: 1. To study the clinical profile [mode of presentations– ulcer, gangrene, callosity, cellulitis] of diabetic foot. 2. To study the morbidity profile [limb salvage surgery, amputations] of diabetic foot. 3. To study the microbiological profile [type of organisms], antibiotic sensitivity and correlate it with prognosis. Materials and Methods: Study includes patients admitted in surgery department M.V.J Medical College & Research Hospital, Hoskote, Bangalore for diabetic foot. A total of 100 patients studied who had diabetic foot were studied. The study period was from january 2015 to July 2016. Conclusion: Based on the results of our study, it can be concluded that diabetic foot inVarious forms accounts for significant morbidity in the surgical wards. The factors Contributing mainly are poor glycemic control at the time of admission, presence of gangrene, associated risk factors like smoking, alcohol consumption and associated comorbidities (anemia, peripheral vascular disease, Hypertension, Ischemic disease). Diabetic foot infections are more prone for recurrence so preventive measures like diabetic control, foot care is needed.
