BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Foot ulcers are one of the main complications in @entity6 , with a 15% lifetime risk in all @entity6 @entity1 . The rate of lower extremity amputation among @entity6 @entity1 is 17-40 times higher than in non-diabetics. A critical @entity16 , minor foot @entity130 and @entity5109 was found in > 63% of @entity4760 ( @entity4760 ). @entity1095 ( @entity1095 ) has been identified in 30% of foot ulcers. We present a comprehensive assessment and the treatment of DFUs. We also want to notify physicians not to ignore foot assessment and examinations in @entity1 with @entity6 . METHODS: We conducted this study on @entity4760 on the basis of: pathogenesis and risk factors, assessment and physical examination, paraclinic assessment, treatment, cost and mortality and prevention. RESULTS AND FINDINGS: Approximately 20% of hospital admissions among @entity6 @entity1 are the result of foot problems. @entity6 foot assessment should include @entity16 . There are three basic treatments for management of @entity4760 : (i) debridement; (ii) antibiotics and (iii) revascularization. The cost to treat one simple @entity1066 is  5000 to  8000. CONCLUSION: Awareness of physicians about foot problems in @entity6 @entity1 , clinical examination and paraclinical assessment, regular foot examination, @entity1 education, simple hygienic practices and provision of appropriate footwear combined with prompt treatment of minor injuries can decrease @entity1066 occurrence by 50%.
