Evaluation and management of diabetic foot according to Wagner's classification. A study of 100 cases.

Abstract

Majority of the diabetic foot lesions were in grade 2 to 5. Lesser grade lesions responded well to conservative treatment with antibiotics and surgical debridement while those with higher grades needed amputations. Effective glycemic control, timely hospital admissions, approximate surgical/medical treatment along with patient education in foot care can decrease morbidity and mortality due to diabetic foot disease.
