Yesterday a patient’s family consulted the situation, saying that the old man had already had his leg amputated because of diabetic foot, but now the problem is that the new wound has not been sealed and is a sign of infection, and they want to hear the opinion of our diabetic foot specialist. Below, we will briefly discuss this issue. Many patients’ feet are often amputated in large hospitals, and if the patient and his family accept this “fact”, the amputation will be done soon. If patients and their families accept this “fact”, they will soon undergo amputation. Unbeknownst to them, the risk of recurrence is relatively high. On the one hand, diabetic patients themselves have the characteristic of non-healing wounds, poor blood sugar control, high local sugar in the wound, it is easy to breed germs. On the other hand, patients who have developed a diabetic foot often also have poor vascularity and more serious lesions in the lower extremities. Amputation does not improve the blood vessels, start the clotting mechanism is also prone to thrombosis, acute ischemia, and the possibility of re-amputation. Remind everyone that this situation can no longer be operated, because the next result may also be the same. Then what to do? A combination of Western and Chinese medicine is recommended for treatment. Western medicine has advantages in controlling infection, improving circulation, controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, blood lipids, treating cardiovascular diseases and so on, which helps to improve the overall quality of the patient and thus the treatment of the trauma. Chinese medicine has the advantage of wound treatment, which can improve the resistance, immunity and proliferation ability of the wound by applying Chinese ointment on the wound surface after debridement, which can speed up the wound healing after comprehensive treatment. In short, we do not recommend amputation, but if it has been done and the wound is re-infected, you must pay attention to it to avoid repeating the same mistake and causing more serious harm to the patient’s body and mind.
