Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot care focuses on limb salvage, infection control, and restoring stable, pain‑free walking. At AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Centre, Dr. Zameer Abbas Mir (FCPS, Plastic Surgery) provides comprehensive Diabetic Foot management in Lahore—combining meticulous wound surgery, pressure offloading, and reconstructive techniques to prevent amputation and promote durable healing.
Our goal is simple: control infection, lower plantar pressure, and rebuild stable coverage so you can walk safely and comfortably.
What Is Diabetic Foot Care?
Diabetic foot problems arise from neuropathy, poor circulation, and deformity that lead to ulcers, infection, and tissue loss. Effective treatment pairs wound debridement and infection control with pressure offloading and, when needed, reconstructive surgery. The approach aims to create a well‑vascularized, biomechanically stable foot that resists breakdown.
Diabetic Foot Treatments We Offer
Wound and Infection Surgery
Sharp debridement of dead/infected tissue to a healthy bleeding base
Targeted antibiotics after culture guidance and imaging as needed
Abscess drainage and osteomyelitis management when present
Pressure Offloading and Biomechanics
Total contact casting, custom footwear, and orthoses to redistribute pressure
Tendon lengthening (e.g., Achilles) or bony prominence removal (exostectomy) to reduce high plantar stress
External fixation or bracing in selected deformities to stabilize and protect healing
Reconstructive Coverage
Skin grafts for suitable, clean, granulating wounds
Local and regional flaps for durable padding over bone/tendons
Free‑flap microsurgery in complex defects when indicated
Deformity Correction and Limb Salvage
Realignment procedures for Charcot and other deformities in the quiescent phase
Select partial foot procedures to preserve length and function when necessary
The Diabetic Foot Care Pathway
Our process ensures comfort, safety, and precision at every step:
1. Consultation: Assessment of ulcer depth, infection, blood flow, and pressure points with a limb-salvage plan.
2. Preparation: Medical optimization (glucose control, nutrition), vascular evaluation, imaging, and culture guidance.
3. Procedure: Debridement, offloading/stabilization, and staged reconstruction as the wound improves.
4. Restoration: Protective coverage and biomechanical correction to prevent recurrence.
5. Recovery: Clear home-care instructions, footwear guidance, and scheduled follow-ups.
Most patients see steady improvement over weeks; reconstructive healing continues for months as swelling settles and tissues strengthen.
Recovery & Aftercare
Expect staged care with dressing changes and offloading.
Strict glucose control and nutrition support
Protective footwear or cast/boot as directed
Daily foot checks and moisture control
Follow‑up for wound surveillance and gradual return to activity
