The most common chronic complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) is diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), with a prevalence of four to ten percent among DM patients. Local circulation is an essential requirement for efficient wound healing, providing sufficient oxygen and nutrient delivery. Therefore it is possible that compression therapies can improve local circulation and improve clinical outcomes for patients with DFUs, as has been demonstrated for other wound types. Compression therapies apply controlled external pressure to promote local circulation by simulating vasodilation or reduction of venous congestion and edema. The controlled external pressure is applied using bandages, specialized stockings, or inflatable garments. Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) is a compression therapy utilizing sleeves that are inflated to a defined pressure before being deflated, simulating the effect of walking and weight-bearing on the venous system. A related treatment called compressed air massage utilizes a stream of compressed air directly on the affected area and may have similar local circulation effects. However, DFUs are a unique wound type and are often accompanied by contraindications for compression therapy including ischemia and peripheral vascular disease (PVD). The purpose of this report is to retrieve and review existing clinical efficacy evidence for compression therapy in the treatment of DFUs. Additionally this report aims to retrieve and review evidence for compression therapy cost-effectiveness, and to retrieve and review the existing compression therapy guidelines for the treatment of DFUs.

The Essential Charcot Neuroarthropathy: Biomechanics, Pathophysiology, and MRI Findings provides a comprehensive analysis of Charcot neuroarthropathy (or Charcot Foot) in diabetic patients. All aspects are covered, including epidemiology, biomechanics, pathophysiology, socioeconomic impacts, radiological findings, and differential diagnosis, with an emphasis on MRI. Chapters address the challenges of pre-and-post surgical management of Charcot neuroarthropathy and the role of unconventional imaging modalities in diagnosis. The book presents an analysis of the normal biomechanics of the ankle and foot, the biomechanical derangements of the ankle-foot unit (including abnormal gait) caused by diabetes Type II, and more. Finally, there is also a reference of the pathophysiology of diabetes-induced peripheral neuropathy and its direct link with the development of Charcot neuroarthropathy foot. Diabetes-induced Charcot foot is frequently misunderstood, misinterpreted and misdiagnosed which can lead to confusion and detrimental management with reported high morbidity.
