Abstract
Diabetic foot is one of the most frequent complications of diabetes, with a high morbimortality, with important health cost, and causing alterations in the quality of life of the patients. The presence of an ulcer in the feet indicates a high risk of amputation and death. Fifty percent of patients with it die within the next 5 years. The causes of foot injuries in people with diabetes may be unique or the association of multiple alterations (vascular, neuropathic, infectious, osteoarticular, trauma, etc.). In this chapter we will refer to vascular and neuropathic alterations.
