An Orthopedic Perspective on Diabetic Foot Attack - A Case Report.

Introduction: Diabetic foot attack (DFA), also known as diabetic foot ulceration, is a severe and potentially limb-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus. It refers to the development of open sores or ulcers on the feet of individuals with diabetes, often leading to infections, tissue damage, and, in extreme cases, amputation. The underlying cause of DFAs is multifactorial and involves a complex interplay of various factors, including peripheral neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease, foot deformities, impaired wound healing, and poor glycemic control.
