Abstract
Diabetic foot syndrome is a debilitating diabetic complication. The treatment must be complex, containing offloading of theaffected foot, revascularization procedures in presence of ischemia, antibiotic treatment if infection is present, debridement andproper wound bed preparation and optimal wound care choice.
It seems that the most important role in healing process playsfunctional microcirculation. In support of microcirculation we can use non-pharmacological (hyperbaric oxygenotherapy, localphysical treatments) and pharmacological methods as alprostadile or sulodexide.
