Diabetic Foot Problems Flashcards
Where is peripheral vscular disease most common in the foot?
Tibial and peroneal arteries
Spares the dorsalis pedis artery
What are the factors that contribute to PVD?
Smoking
HTN
Hyperipidiemia
What are the S and S of Arterial Occlusive disease?
Claudation Rest pain Atrophic, shiny skin Diminished hair growth Dependent Roubor Pallor on elevation
What are evaluation modalities for peripheral vasculature?
Pulses CFT Presentation of skin Doppler Ankle Brachial Index >.5 Transcutaneous O2 >30mm Hg
What is seen on a moderate obstruction in Doppler US waveform?
Rounding of upstroke/Dnstroke
Decreased peak height
Absent flow reversal
Absent elastic rebound
What is seen on a severe obstruction in Doppler US waveform?
Loss of peak height
Absent flow reversal
Absent elastic rebound
What is seen on a in Doppler US waveform in anormal foot?
Rapid upstroke/dnstroke
Flow reversal
Bidirectional
Art wall rebound
What is seen on a mild obstruction in Doppler US waveform?
Decreased peak height
partial loss of Flow reversal
Bidirectional
Loss of art wall rebound
What is the neurotraumatic theory?
Exaggerated overuse injury coupled with loss of protective sensation
Initiated by acute trauma or repeditive microtrauma
Lack of sensation allows continued tissue destruction => fractures and dislocation
What is the Neurovascular theory?
…
What are the Eichenholtz stages of Charcot?
St1: Developmental
St2: Coalescence
St3: Reconstruction
What is Atrophic vs Hypertrophic Charcot?
…
What are the Treatment modalities for Acute Chacot?
Prevention of further trauma
Acute: non-wtbearing
cast, drugs to limit bone reabs
Precautions for contralateral limb
What are the Treatment modalities for Later stage Chacot?
Arthrodesis
Pan met head resection
tendo-achilles lengthening
external fixation
What are the types of Ulcerations?
Failed to proceed to the stages of wound healing
- arterial
- Venous
- Neuropathic
- Pressure
