[Debatable questions in diabetic foot syndrome classification].

The experience of treatment of 705 patients with the diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) determined the necessity of reviewing the existing classifications of the disease. Main features of clinics and pathology define three basic forms of the DFS: neuropathic, neuroischemic and ischemic. The new ischemia classification is brought forward. It is based on reliable micro- and macrogemodynamic criteria, which are also important for clinical decision making.
