At Tec Orthopedics, we provide expert care for foot ulcers related to diabetes, emphasizing infection management, tissue preservation, and improved mobility. Our specialized treatment approach facilitates healing while minimizing the risk of complications.
Understanding Orthopedic Treatment for Foot Ulcers Caused by Diabetes
Foot ulcers can arise from poor circulation and neuropathy commonly associated with diabetes, leading to serious complications if not addressed promptly. This condition primarily impacts individuals with diabetes, particularly affecting the feet. Orthopedic intervention is crucial for preventing the progression of ulcers, managing infections, and promoting healing, especially for those facing mobility challenges.
Common Conditions Treated with Orthopedic Care for Foot Ulcers:
These non-healing wounds develop due to compromised blood flow and may become infected. Orthopedic care is essential for managing infections and facilitating wound healing while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
Many individuals with diabetes experience nerve damage that affects sensation in the feet. This condition can lead to unnoticed injuries and ulcers. Orthopedic treatment focuses on prevention and early intervention to manage complications.
Reduced blood flow in the feet is a common concern for diabetics, increasing the risk of ulcer formation. Interventions such as offloading and custom footwear help alleviate pressure and enhance circulation, reducing the likelihood of ulcers.
Signs You May Need Orthopedic Treatment for Foot Ulcers:
Redness, swelling, or discoloration around the ulcer can indicate worsening conditions, signaling the need for orthopedic evaluation to prevent further damage.
If foot ulcers do not show signs of healing despite ongoing care, this may suggest a deeper issue that requires immediate orthopedic attention.
Unexplained pain or tenderness in the foot can be an indication of an ulcer or underlying condition. This requires prompt assessment and treatment to prevent escalation.
The presence of foul odor or discharge from an ulcer may signify an advanced infection. Immediate specialized care is necessary to address these concerns effectively.
