Wagner classification

The Wagner classification is a system used by healthcare professionals to assess the severity of a diabetic foot ulcer. It ranges from Grade 0, where the foot looks normal but may have pre-ulcerative signs, to Grade 5, indicating a severe infection with gangrene affecting the entire foot. The system helps doctors determine the extent of tissue damage, guiding treatment decisions and predicting outcomes. It considers factors like tissue depth, infection, and bone involvement, providing a standardized way to evaluate and monitor foot ulcers in diabetic patients.
