To accurately assess the severity of the foot ulcer and determine the most effective treatment plan, we typically recommend three tests:
MRI scans to evaluate the extent of damage caused by the ulcer and check for signs of inflammation in the foot
X-rays to determine if there has been any loss of bone mass due to diabetes, and
Blood tests to check for any signs of infection associated with the ulcer.
By undergoing these tests, we can better understand the foot ulcer’s condition and tailor a treatment plan accordingly.
