Diabetic foot ulceration (DFU), one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), affects 25% of all patients with diabetes and is associated with high morbidity and mortality [1-5]. It is considered a marker for early diagnosis of macro and microvascular complications, neuropathy, immunopathy and foot biomechanics alterations [6].
