Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has increased by more than 60% from 1990-2001, and it is estimated that the number will increase by 165% from 2001-2050. Aim of the study: To study clinical profile and histomorphological changes in vessels, nerves, muscles, skeleton and soft tissues in diabetic limb amputations. Material and methods: A retrospective study was done from January 2011 to June 2012 in the Department of Pathology in collaboration with Department of General Surgery and Microbiology, in an urban tertiary care institution, on 25 patients undergoing diabetic limb amputations. Results: The present study showed that the identified risk factors for lower limb amputations are male sex, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease and lack of awareness and practice of diabetic care protocols. The identification of vascular and nervous morphological structures in the complicated diabetic foot allows the extension of the knowledge related to the pathological background of this condition.
