Diabetic wounds pose a significant challenge in modern healthcare due to their chronic and complex nature, often resulting in delayed healing, infections, and, in severe cases, amputations. In recent years, nanotherapeutic approaches have emerged as promising strategies to address the unique pathophysiological characteristics of diabetic wounds. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in nanotherapeutics for diabetic wound treatment. We discuss various nanomaterials and delivery systems employed in these emerging therapies. Furthermore, we explore the integration of biomaterials to enhance the efficacy of nanotherapeutic interventions. By examining the current state-of-the-art research, challenges, and prospects, this review aims to offer valuable insights for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals working in the field of diabetic wound care.

Fracture-related infections are a significant burden to the patient, associated with high health care costs and use of resources. Therefore, prevention is more critical than treatment of infection. There are injury- and patient-related risk factors that are mostly not modifiable, with the exception of a few patient-specific ones such as control of blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.

Background Non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are significant risk factors for amputations. Though the available literature suggests that adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) fastens the healing process and reduces the risk of amputations, its overall evidence in the reduction of amputation remains controversial. Thus, the present study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of adjuvant HBOT and standard wound care (SWC) with SWC alone in patients with DFUs.

Effective glycemic control is paramount for optimal wound healing in diabetic patients. Traditional antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments, while important, often fall short in addressing the hyperglycemic conditions of diabetic wounds. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic strategies for accelerating diabetic wound healing has garnered escalating attention.

As common complications of diabetes, long-term hyperglycemia and inflammatory infiltration often lead to prolonged unhealing of chronic diabetic wounds. The natural hydrogel-containing plant polysaccharides were recorded to have effective hypoglycemic and anti-inflammatory effects. This study focused on the accelerating effect of diabetic wound healing of hydrogels doped with polysaccharide (DOP)─calcium carbonate (CaCO) microspheres, which have glucose-responsive insulin release and anti-inflammatory effects.

Sonodynamic therapy is an emerging therapeutic approach for combating bacterial infections. However, the characteristics of hypoxia, high HO microenvironment, and the formation of persistent biofilms in diabetic wound sites limit its efficacy in this field. To address these issues, we developed a multifunctional antibacterial hydrogel dressing PPCN@Pt-AMPs/HGel with the cross-linked gelatin and sodium alginate as the matrix, where the nanosonosensitizer PCN-224 was decorated with the oxygen-generating Pt nanoenzyme and further coupled with a biofilm-targeting antimicrobial peptide via an interacting polydopamine layer.
