Conditions treated and cured

Our Unit, one of the few in Italy, takes care of prevention, diagnosis, cure and limb salvage in patients with Diabetic Foot. Foot ulcer in diabetic patients, main condition treated, significantly increases risk of amputation above the ankle. Diabetics, now about 7% of population, represent about 70% of non-traumatic amputees by themselves. We also take care of Wound Care – that is, cure of lower limb wounds, such as venous, arterious, mixed, infect, vasculitic, post-trauma and post-radiation skin ulcers.
