Coming soonA diabetic neuropathic ulcer of the lower extremity is a chronic, full-thickness cutaneous wound occurring predominantly on the feet of patients with diabetes mellitus.
It arises primarily from diabetic peripheral neuropathy, where sensory loss impairs the perception of pain, repetitive pressure, or minor trauma, frequently compounded by motor weakness and autonomic dysfunction that induce foot deformities and dry, fissured skin.
Clinically, these lesions present over weight-bearing surfaces or bony prominences as painless, "punched-out" ulcerations often surrounded by a hyperkeratotic callus.
Due to impaired wound healing and compromised host defenses, these ulcers carry a significant risk of secondary soft-tissue infection, osteomyelitis, and lower-limb amputation.
