[Treatment of diabetic foot complications].
Of 3721 patients with diabetic lesions of the foot treated 2416 (65%) patients have been operated. The rise of urgent hospitalization rate (over 90%) unfavourably influenced the results of the treatment and contributed to increased frequency of high amputations of the extremity. The proposed system for evaluation of the condition and scope of the combined treatment resulted in decrease of mortality among operated patients from 14.7% to 9.8% and among not operated ones--from 20.5% to 5.5%. The suggested classifications of complicated forms of the "diabetic foot" syndrome provided proper evaluation of the prognosis and individual approach to the choice of treatment measures.
