[Etiology, pathogenesis, classification and surgical treatment of diabetic foot syndrome]. / Etiologiia, patogenez, klassifikatsiia i khirurgicheskoe lechenie sindroma diabeticheskoi stopy.

Basic points of ethiology and pathogenesis of diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) are given. Classification of DFS is proposed as regards to clinical forms, stages and localization of the process. Algorithm of treatment of each clinical form of DFS including surgical methods is substantiated. Indications for organo-saving surgeries on the foot, and also for high amputation of the leg are determined clearly. Results of treatment of 484 patients with DFS are analyzed. This algorithm can reduce number of high amputations 2 times. It is noted that early hospitalization of patients with initial stages of the disease, organization of curative process depending on DFS clinical form permits to improve results of FDS treatment.
