Diabetic foot problems are late complications of diabetes and not cause disability but also risk the patients' life.In this study 69 diabetic patients were evaluated for foot deformities and neuropathy. It was also aimed to show relation of these factors with diabetic ulcer formation. Thirty-four healthy sex and age matched control were also compared for frequency of deformities with 42 diabetic patients whose all laboratory and physical examinations were available. Though in both groups a high prevalance of deformities were found, in diabetics limited joint mobility, pes cavus, hammer/claw toes, and metatarsophalangial subluxation were more prominent in number. In 69 diabetic patient limited joint mobility,pes cavus, neuropathy,periferal vascular disease were found to be correlated with ulcer formation. Results were discussed with reference to literature.
