Resumen
RODRIGUEZ GURRI, Daniel. Effect of traumatismo on the physiopathology of the diabetic foot. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2014, vol.43, n.3, pp. 370-378. ISSN 1561-3046.
The diabetic foot is the result of the interaction of systemic or predisposing factors (Neuropathy, Microangiopathy and Macroangiopathy) upon which unleashing aggravating factors also act. With the objective of evaluating the implications of traumatism in the physiopathology of the diabetic foot, literature review was made in national and international databases to analyze the papers published until 2011. The terms were definition, concept, traumatism and physiopathology of the diabetic foot in Spanish and English. It was verified that traumatism is generally addressed in this disease as part of the extrinsic unleashing factors that are classified into mechanical, thermal or chemical, which is supported on five definitions of this disease, one of them put forward by a domestic author. It was concluded that the restricted interpretation of the implication of traumatism for the physiopathology of the diabetic foot together with poor interpretation of this factor in the various concepts already known makes it possible to prepare a new definition of this disease.
