Methodology: PubMed database was used for articles selection. Papers were obtained and reviewed. PubMed database was used for articles selection, and the following keys terms were used: diabetic foot ulcer, prognosis, and management.

Nevertheless, this should not deter the physician from offering treatment as this improves prognosis.
