Orthopedic Treatment for Diabetes-Related Foot Infection

Wounds that do not heal due to poor circulation and infection can become infected. Orthopedic care helps manage these infections and provides relief, aiding in wound healing and tissue preservation.

Many individuals with diabetes suffer from nerve damage, which can reduce sensitivity in the feet, increasing the risk of unnoticed injuries and infections. Orthopedic interventions focus on early detection and management of these issues.

Restricted blood flow to the extremities can worsen infections. Orthopedic treatment includes strategies to improve circulation and reduce pressure on affected areas.

Increased redness or swelling around a wound may indicate an infection that requires orthopedic care to prevent further complications.

If foot wounds or ulcers are not healing despite treatment, this could suggest an infection that needs immediate evaluation and management.
