"Levin and O'Neal's The Diabetic Foot, 6/e" is a definitive guide for the interdisciplinary team treating diabetic patients. It fully addresses the medical, surgical, psychosocial, and medicolegal aspects of care. The book provides a thorough overview of the foundations of diabetic foot management, including new data on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of diabetic foot lesions and foot biomechanics. The bulk of the book provides an unparalleled quick reference for the diagnosis, medical, and surgical management of acute clinical problems such as foot ulcer, infection, or acute Charcot neuroarthropathy. These chapters also help the clinician assess controversial areas of management such as painful neuropathy and the role of hyperbaric oxygen, and provide surgeons with a host of conservative approaches that preserve the weight-bearing function of the foot. The entire interdisciplinary team is addressed in regard to patient education, the role of the wound care nurse, psychological aspects, and the impact of managed care on treatment options. The book concludes with a look at the medicolegal considerations relevant to all clinicians providing diabetic foot care.
