CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES AND INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS
The creation of evidence based clinical practice guidelines and international consensus have been important developments for management of the diabetic foot. The IWGDF became the International Diabetes Federation's consultative section on the diabetic foot in 2000. The International Consensus on the Diabetic Foot was updated in 2007, and in 2011 the IWGDF published three important clinical practice guidelines: Practical guidelines on the management and prevention of the diabetic foot 2011, (Kalel Bakker); Specific guidelines for the treatment of diabetic foot infections 2011, (Benjamin Lipsky); and Specific guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral arterial disease In a patient with diabetes and ulceration OJ the foot 2011 , (Nicolaas Schaper). American Diabetes Association published two noteworthy Task Force reports: Comprehensive Foot Examination and Risk Assessment, in 2008, (Andrew Boulton); and The Diabetic Charcot Foot, in 2011 Rogers). The German- Austrian Consensus on Operative Treatment of Charcot Neuroarthropathy: a Perspective by the Charcot Task Force of the German Association For Foot Surgery was published in 2011 (Armin Roller). The Infectious Diseases Society of America The International Consensus on the Diabetic Foot was updated in 2007. and in 201 the IWGDF published three important clinical practice guidelines: Practical guidelines on the management and prevention of the diabetic foot 2011. (Karel Bakker); Specific guidelines for the treatment of diabetic foot Infections 2011, (Benjamin Lipsky); and Specific guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral arterial disease In a patient with diabetes and ulceration of the foot 2011 , (Nicolaas Schaper). lhc American Diabetes Association published two noteworthy Task Force reports: Comprehensive Foot Exam'- nation and Risk Assessment. in 2008. (Andrew Boulton); and The Diabetic Charcot Foot, in 201 1 ( IA'C Rogers). The German- Austrian Consensus on Operative Treatment of Charcot Neuroarthropathy: a Perspective by the Charcot Task Force of the German Association For Fool Surgery was published in 2011 (Armin Koller). The Infectious Diseases Society of America published a comprehensive, evidence based approach to the management of diabetic foot infections, The 2012 Infectious Diseases Society of America Clinical Practice Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Diabetic Foot Infections, in 2012 (Benjamin Lipsky). Ilie team approach to the prevention of lower extremity amputations is highlighted in the 'journal of Vascular Surgery supplement, Strategies to prevent and Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Building a Partnership for Amputation Prevention, in 2010 (Joseph Mills, David Armstrong and George Andros, Guest Editors). The total number of PubMed indexed publications on the diabetic foot increased, 20•f01d, from 205 articles in the 1970s, when the author began his career, to over 4, 100 articles in the first decade of the 21st century. We are now witnessing an exciting new chapter being written in the history of the diabetic foot. There is hopefulness that our efforts will make a tangible difference to preserve limbs, to improve functional
outcomes and to maintain a better quality of life for the millions of people around the world who are grievously affected by the foot complications of diabetes.
