Advances in Diabetic Foot, Its Complications and Related Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Diabetic foot (DF) is a leading cause of disability and early mortality in people with diabetes, with enormous direct and indirect costs for both patients and health systems. It also represents a paradigmatic example of how the collaboration between clinical and basic researchers together with multidisciplinary health professionals can represent an added value for the improvement in all health goals in people with DF, even overcoming the recent (and unfortunately ongoing) storm of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, this complication appears to affect males far more than females, while little is known about gender differences in the risk of adverse outcomes in people with DF. Consequently, original contributions on this new theme are welcomed, justifying the presence of a Co-Guest Editor with renowned expertise about this aspect (Prof. Franconi).

In conclusion, the purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the up-to-date clinical aspects of DF disease, including the use of innovative techniques and technologies in interventional therapies. For this reason, we encourage multidisciplinary researchers in the field of DF and related diseases to submit their findings as original articles or reviews to this Special Issue.
