El pie diabético constituye un problema de salud pública por su alta prevalencia y sus enormes costos. Debido a esto, es necesario investigar nuevos enfoques de prevención y tratamiento de las complicaciones vasculares del pie diabético, para entender el comportamiento del padecimiento y obtener información relevante. Por tal motivo, se requiere un acercamiento multidisciplinario que ayude a evitar complicaciones vasculares en las extremidades inferiores. En esta contribución describimos como el uso de herramientas matemáticas y en particular la teoría de grafos sirven para estudiar y describir el comportamiento del desarrollo de las úlceras en el pie diabético. Los resultados muestran que es posible describir la dinámica de las úlceras en el grafo incorporando información fisiológica de las úlceras.Abstract: The diabetic foot is a public health problem due to its high prevalence and enormous costs. Because of this, it is necessary to investigate new approaches of prevention and treatment of the vascular complications of diabetic foot, in order to understand the behavior of the disease and to obtain relevant information. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is required to help to prevent vascular complications in the lower extremities. In this contribution we describe how the use of mathematical tools and in particular graph theory serve to study and describe the behavior of the development of diabetic foot ulcers. The results show that it is possible to describe the dynamics of the ulcers in the graph incorporating physiological information of them.Keywords: Diabetic foot, graph, ulcer.References
