Ref.: (LML) plantar ulcers – survey new events
From: William Faber, Soest, the Netherlands
Dear Pieter,
Referring to the letter of Dr. Jingquan Wang, LML 20-07-2015, an ulcer as such is not an injury but the consequence of an injury to the skin.
When an ulcer is healed a recurrence can be considered as a new event.
Important is to properly classify an ulcer: superficial - deep; non-infected – infected.
The Dutch Neuropathic Foot Society did develop a registration form which could be used for all cases of ulcers in neuropathic feet as for instance diabetes and leprosy (already mentioned by Erik Slim). The so called FINU form means Foot - Ischaemia - Neuropathy – Ulcer. This form can be used for registration and is very useful for follow-up.
Greetings,
William R Faber
