Updating the Diabetic Foot Treatment Algorithm: Recommendations on Treatment Using Advanced Medicine and Therapies.

CONCLUSIONS: Treatment for DFUs should start when a possible pre-ulcer is noticed. This prophylactic treatment may reduce development of more severe DFUs. Once a DFU has developed, care should be optimized for both the patient and the wound bed. While these treatment recommendations are focused solely on DFUs, they may be expanded for use in other foot/leg pressure ulcers. PMID: 29091034 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
