Role of the Microcirculation in Diabetic Foot Ulceration

The concept of microcirculation being implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic foot disease is being challenged by evidence that fails to confirm it. However, there is evidence of structural changes with capillary and in the basement membrane that do not permit the concept to be denied either. The lack of evidence should not be a reason to argue against surgery in the diabetic foot.

Key Words: diabetic foot ulceration • pathogenesis • micro-circulation
