本文的目的是回顾有关神经病变和其他相关因素在溃疡和下肢截肢中的关系的文献。有强有力的证据表明,感觉丧失和机械应力是足部溃疡的主要原因,也是导致下肢截肢的常见因素。愚蠢的压力来自外在因素,如鞋类和内在因素,如畸形和有限的关节活动。了解这些因素的相互作用是有价值的,在确定人的脚处于危险之中,有效地预防和治疗足部溃疡,并最终防止下肢截肢。
The purpose of this paper is to review selected literature on the relationship of neuropathy and other related factors in loot ulceration and lower extremity amputation. There is strong evidence that sensory loss and mechanical stress are the primary cause of foot ulceration and common factors in the pathway to lower extremity amputation. Fool stress results from extrinsic factors such as footwear and intrinsic factors such as deformity and limited joint mobility. Understanding the interplay of these factors is valuable in identifying persons whose feet are at risk, effectively preventing and treating foot ulcerations and ultimately preventing lower extremity amputation.
