| Abstrakt: | The prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is projected to increase worldwide, which necessitates a review of the current management principles and the development of new approaches to care. The principles of management involve proper glycemic control, infection control, pressure redistribution, wound care debridement, and revascularization. Other modalities of management, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and negative wound pressure therapy, are also being explored. While some aspects of DFU care lack high-quality evidence, a multidisciplinary approach incorporating these evolving trends has the potential to improve outcomes and prevent lower extremity amputations in this challenging condition. This review highlights the need for further research to establish definitive treatment protocols for optimal DFU management.
