Diabetic Foot
Treatment of the diabetic foot will include addressing the causes. Often, this means control of the infection with antibiotics. If there is extensive infection in the foot, your vascular surgeon will recommend surgery to drain the infection.
If vascular disease is present, you may undergo one or more tests, such as duplex ultrasound or& arteriography. Your doctor may recommend open surgery or endovascular surgery to re-establish normal blood flow to the foot.
