“…Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are estimated to affect 15% of diabetic patients.

Complications of diabetic foot ulcers maybe related to its chronicity, osteomyelitis, re-ulceration, gangrene and amputation which might be aggravated by concomitant co-morbidities such as peripheral vascular disease, sub-optimal blood glucose control and neuropathy to name a few [5].…”
