The Diabetic Foot
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Important cause of amputationCausative factor of ulceration in 38-52%50% of all Diabetic amputations (Pacaudet et al 1999)

The Diabetic Foot
Peripheral Neuropathy
• Peripheral neuropathy varies from 12-50%
• Young et al 1993 – 28.5% in 6500 pts• Testaye et al 1996 – 28%• Dyck et al 1993 – 13% symptomatic 50% clinical evidence

The Diabetic Foot
• If can’t feel pressure:- - x10 increased risk of foot ulcer or
amputation• If also foot deformity x32 increased risk Rith Najarian 1992

What do we need to screen a patient?
• Eyes• Hands• 10g Monofilament

Annual Screening Review
Examination• Skin Condition• Pulses present• Sensitive to 10g
pressure(loss of 10g = HIGH RISK of ulceration
Symptoms• Claudication• Pain• History of ulcer• Visual impairment• Mobility problems
Inspection• Callus• Deformity• Ulcer
present

To palpate pulses use 2 fingers not your thumb.Dorsalis Pedis Pulses – can be found in the groove between the 1st and 2nd Metatarsal bonesThis pulse can be absent in 10% of people
Posterior Tibial Pulse – can be found behind the medial malleolus 1/3 of the distance from the medial malleolus to the bottom of the heel, in a hollow.

Avoid areas of callus or ulceration Deteriorates with use Not to test on more than 10 patients with each monofilament per session• Monofilament requires 24hr rest.• Use approved monofilaments either
Bailey’s or Owen Mumford Neuropen
Demonstrate on patients forearm or face to ensure they know how it feels.Ask patient to close their eyes before you start and answer YES each time they feel it. Place the tip of the monofilament on the site to be tested. Apply pressure until it bows. Don’t let it slip or slide across the skin or make repetitive contact with the same spot.Test all sites on the screening form.
