Welcome
 
The site is aimed at those interested in the diabetic foot, both patients and health workers.
What is reported here is the fruit of both direct experience of the writers and the analysis of international literature related to this topic.
The information contained in this site does not in any way substitute medical consultation but intends to encourage patients to seek medical advice in case of problems occurring in the lower limbs.

The site contains photographic images that could disturb the visitor.
Anyone who is particularly sensitive should not access the section "The Diabetic Foot", the section "Clinical Cases" or the multimedia parts contained under "Film Sequences".
In order to protect the visitor’s sensitivity the symbol appears for the more graphic contents.
 
We receive from our colleague Robert Frikberg (Arizona, US) and with pleasure publish this news:

Our new journal, the Journal of Diabetic Foot Complications is now officially online! Please follow this link and check us out: http://www.jdfc.org/

I know that this is a meager start, but I do hope that interest in our open access on-line journal will grow in time. We will be interested in receiving your articles on anything related to the Diabetic Lower Extremity - reviews, case reports, editorials, studies, observations, etc. Please spread the word for us.

Thanks so much,
Bob
