Abstract: Diabetic foot complications remain one of the leading causes of non-traumatic, lower-extremity amputation worldwide. Despite new innovations in wound care, vascular intervention and limb salvage techniques, far too many amputations are preceded by missed opportunities for early detection. This article presents the 3-Minute Diabetic Foot Exam, a structured three-minute commitment to assessment and patient education with the potential to shift care from reactive intervention to proactive preservation.
