The Diabetic Foot: Preventing Loss and Amputation A Pictorial Approach / El pie diabetico: Prevenir la perdida y la amputacion Un enfoque ilustrado

Michael J Marcus

This book is presented in both English and Spanish.

I have been a practicing podiatric foot and ankle surgeon for 40 years. Thanks to tremendous advances in medicine, my colleagues and I can provide more options to our patients with increasingly better outcomes.

Today, through a team approach, we use contemporary techniques to treat the diabetic foot.

Despite these improvements, more and more people are being diagnosed with diabetes. Foot and ankle surgeons like me are seeing many more patients with increased complications from this disease.

For most diabetics, though, it is the devastating possibility of limb loss that is of primary concern. The truth is that with proper management of the disease, patient compliance, and early intervention when needed, limb loss is often preventable.

I wrote this book first and foremost for you-someone who lives with diabetes.

Diabetes is a disease of epidemic proportions.

Many of my diabetic patients come to me far less informed about the disease than they deserve.

They often have a difficult time realizing the possible complications associated with diabetes.

Many do not take care of themselves as well as they should.

My goal is to increase awareness of how diabetes affects the foot and ankle and to reduce the frequency and extent of limb loss.

I want to empower you to do everything possible to avoid unnecessary complications from diabetes, including the dreaded complication of limb loss.

He sido un cirujano podiatrico de pie y tobillo durante 40 anos. Gracias a enormes avances en la medicina, mis colegas y yo podemos ofrecer mas opciones a nuestros pacientes con resultados cada vez mejores.

En la actualidad, a traves de un enfoque de equipo, utilizamos tecnicas modernas para tratar el pie diabetico. A pesar de estas mejoras, cada vez mas personas son diagnosticadas con diabetes. Los cirujanos de pie y tobillo como yo estamos viendo a muchos mas pacientes con mayores complicaciones por esta enfermedad.

Para la mayoria de los diabeticos, sin embargo, lo que mas les preocupa es la posibilidad devastadora de perder una extremidad. La verdad es que con el manejo adecuado de la enfermedad, el cumplimiento del paciente, y la intervencion temprana cuando sea necesario, la perdida de extremidades a menudo se puede prevenir.

Escribi este libro en primer lugar para usted, alguien que vive con diabetes.

La diabetes es una enfermedad de proporciones epidemicas.

Muchos de mis pacientes diabeticos vienen a mi mucho menos informados sobre la enfermedad de lo que se merecen.

A menudo tienen dificultades para darse cuenta de las posibles complicaciones asociadas con la diabetes.

Muchos no se cuidan tanto como deberian.

Quiero darle a usted el poder de hacer todo lo posible para evitar complicaciones innecesarias de la diabetes, incluyendo la temida complicacion de perder una extremidad.

Mi objetivo es aumentar la conciencia de como la diabetes afecta al pie y al tobillo, y los pasos que usted puede dar para que, juntos, reduzcamos la frecuencia y la extension de la perdida de extremidades.
