Customer Reviews

Concise and comprehensive manual on the Diabetic Foot

Excelent and concise review.Comprehensive how to guidelines for evaluation,risk determination and treatment including frequency for re-evaluation.How much weight factors such as obesity,glycemic control,smoking, foot hygiene,and propensity to walk barefoot inside and outdoors are not used to increase the risk score.The authors should use their vast experience to add several or all of the above to modify the risk score.

A handbook for foot care specialists

Medical experts David Armstrong and Lawrence Lavery editorially collaborate in Clinical Care Of The Diabetic Foot to present the reader with up to date information on all aspects of diabetes as related to foot care and symptoms. Written especially as a handbook for foot care specialists, but also useful to lay readers seeking to educate themselves concerning how to care for their own feet or the feet of loved one's and hopefully prevent amputation, Clinical Care Of The Diabetic Foot covers foot exams, wound care, managing infections, preventive footwear, charcot foot and peripheral arterial disease, and much more. Black/white photographs, charts, and reference lists round out this highly recommended and welcome contribution to medical handbook and diabetes reference shelves.

Practical yet concise

Thourough overview, yet very practical. I would recommend it to every health care professional dealing with the diabetic foot.
