Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Care of the Diabetic Foot (Paperback)

Medical experts David Armstrong and Lawrence Lavery editorially collaborate in Clinical Care Of The Diabetic Foot to present the reader with up to date information on all aspects of diabetes as related to foot care and symptoms. Written especially as a handbook for foot care specialists, but also useful to lay readers seeking to educate themselves concerning how to care for their own feet or the feet of loved one's and hopefully prevent amputation, Clinical Care Of The Diabetic Foot covers foot exams, wound care, managing infections, preventive footwear, charcot foot and peripheral arterial disease, and much more. Black/white photographs, charts, and reference lists round out this highly recommended and welcome contribution to medical handbook and diabetes reference shelves.

This review is from: Clinical Care of the Diabetic Foot (Paperback)

This is a handbook which should be in the library of every primary care doc, wound care nurse, podiatrist, and even educated diabetic patients who want to learn about their foot health.

The chapters read fast but have many clinical photos and great highlights for learning about diabetic wound prevention, diagnosis, basic wound care, diabetic vascular evaluation, and many other diabetic foot issues. The authors are well published experts who formed an all star team of endocrinologists, internal medicine specialists, podiatric surgeons, and vascular specialists, and allied health professionals and worked together to make this American Diabetes Association book. Great public health info!
