3 ulcers in along with the possibility of cellulitis and abscesses or osteomyelitis
Fourth finger gangrene
5 foot gangrene
Classification of diabetic foot lesions can also be based on the extent of its wounds and ischemic regions is modified by Brodsky of classification of diabetic foot according to Wagner.

The depth of the wound Definition
0 Feet-risk, without ulceration
A superficial ulceration, without infection
2 Ulceration of the till of the tendon
Three broad ulceration / abscess

A Without ischemia
B ischaemia without gangrene
C Partial gangrene
D Complete foot gangrenen

b) Level I.
Requiring debridement of necrotic tissue or infectious tissue, local wound care and expense reductions.
c) Level II.
Require debridement, appropriate antibiotics with culture results, the local treatment of wounds and expense reduction technique that is more meaningful.
d) Level III.
Debridement requires a network that has become gangrenous, amputation in part, a more stringent immobilization and parenteral antibiotics according to culture.
e) Level IV.
At this stage usually requires action amputation amputation of part or all of the foot.
