Peripheral Vascular Disease
Poor circulation is one of the leading causes of foot ulcers, and one of the biggest obstacles to wound healing. The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot recommends any new patient with an ulcer be screened for poor circulation, and then again screened every year.
At The Amputation Prevention Center, we will often order an arterial duplex to ensure that there is enough blood flow to get your wound healed quickly!
