Today Medi-Rehatek will discuss why diabetic foot is difficult to heal.
(1) Due to long-term chronic damage, Diabetic patients will have peripheral vascular occlusion and poor neurotrophy.
(2) The majority of patients’ feelings are weakened or disappeared, often the wound is difficult to detect, once the doctor find out that the situation has been more serious, such as local necrosis, severe infections etc..
(3) The foot is the most distal body with poor blood transport capacity.
Therefore, diabetic foot patients once have foot ulceration, wound healing is more difficult.
