It became a well-known fact, proven by numbers, that the need for aggressive limb salvage is increasing since the number of those with diabetes, the leading cause of limb loss, is becoming epidemic around the world. There are an estimated 371 million people in the world with diabetes. The Middle East and North Africa regions contain a population at risk and a very high prevalence of diabetes mellitus that can reach 25 %. The healthcare costs of lower extremity complications, such as foot ulcers, infections, and gangrene are high, but the costs of lower limb amputation are higher and the outcomes on quality of life and mortality are poorer after amputation.
Feet and ankles are some of the most complex and constantly impacted areas of the human body. This leads to frequent injuries that are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. It is critical to receive proper care and rehabilitation to regain mobility and movement. The Foot and Ankle Service provides expert diagnosis and leads a multidisciplined approach to treat the broad range of foot and ankle conditions that can occur at any stage of life, from newborn to teen years and from active adults to seniors.
