Diabetic foot and limb salvage is a specialised medical field of surgical care dedicated to preventing, treating, and managing foot and lower limb complications in patients with diabetes. Diabetes can lead to poor circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and infections, which increase the risk of ulcers, gangrene, and, in severe cases, amputation.

Purposes:

• It reduces infection risk and improves mobility.
• It promotes healing of chronic wounds and ulcers.
• It enhances quality of life and independence for patients.
• It preserves limb function and prevents unnecessary amputation.
