A prospective clinical trial to study the efficacy of biological membrane in the management of diabetic foot ulcers
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: To study the role of Biological Membrane in the management of diabetic foot ulcers. Methods: Biological membrane alone was used as a definitive wound cover in 23 cases. In the remaining 77 cases definite cover like skin graft/ flap was done after preparing the wound with biological membrane. Results: All the wounds healed completely without complication with Biological membrane alone or with definite procedure like skin graft or flap cover. Conclusion: Biological membrane can be used either as a primary skin cover, or to prepare the wound for subsequent skin graft or flap cover.
