Research progress in diabetes-related foot ulcer in 2023
Objective:Diabetes-related foot ulcer(DFU)is one of the most serious complications of diabetes.DFU is difficult to heal,have a high recurrence rate,and produce considerable medical costs,which will seriously affect the quality of life of patients.However,the intervention and management of DFU has always been a major clinical problem.In addition to conventional treatments such as debridement and anti-infection,new clinical interventions on DFU have been widely used in recent years,such as bioengineered skin substitutes,growth factor therapy,negative pressure wound therapy,skin substitutes and hyperbaric oxygen therapy,etc.These interventions bring new treatment opportunities for DFU patients.This article summarizes the research progress from three aspects:pathophysiology,general treatment and auxiliary intervention measures of DFU and the relevant research situation in 2023.
