Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are one of the serious complications of diabetes, typically resulting from neuropathy or peripheral arterial disease, and can often lead to amputation. It affects approximately 6.3% of people with diabetes globally. In Pakistan, the overall prevalence of DFUs is 16.83%, with a slightly higher rate in females. Diabetic foot ulcers are the main reason for lower extremity amputation (LEA) with non-traumatic origin, hospitalization, healthcare costs, and mortality.
