Diabetic foot syndrome is defined as infection, ulceration, or destruction of deep tissues of the foot (including bones) in a patient with diabetes mellitus. Complex and multifactorial management of diabetic foot ulcer is necessary to reduce costs and ensure faster healing and avoid limb amputation.
