Abstract:Diabetic foot is one of the most severe chronic complications of diabetes, and approximately 40% to 60% of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations occur in diabetic foot patients. Because of the complex conditions of diabetic foot patients and along with the highly specialized departments at the hospital, the traditional single-discipline treatment model is difficult to meet the requirements for treatment of diabetic foot, while the use of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) model has become a development direction. At present, using MDT model in diagnosis and treatment of diabetic foot has been conducted by a number of teams in China and abroad and satisfactory results have been achieved.
