Abstract
Chronic Wounds Are A Major Health Challenge And Are A Growing Socioeconomic Problem All Over The World. The Goal Of Wound Care In Chronic Ulcers Is To Facilitate Healing Using Standardized Protocols Of Wound Care. The Main Goal Of Any Treatment Modality Is To Obtain Wound Closure Expeditiously. The Aim Of Our Study Is To Compare And Find Out Which Is Better Among Platelet-Rich Plasma Vs. Conventional Dressing. In This Study, A Total Of 50 Patients Of Chronic Non Healing Ulcers Who Presented In Our Institute Were Evaluated From December 2015 To October 2017.Patients Were Randomly Grouped Into Two Groups - PRP And Conventional Dressing Group Of 25 Patients Each. Definitely, PRP Group Showed Better Results In Term Of Healing Rate And Required Significantly Less Number Of Dressings For Wound Closure. Results From Our Research Showed That PRP Is A Safe And Effective Treatment Modality For Chronic Non-Healing Ulcers. Using PRP To Treat Chronic Wounds/Ulcers May Not Only Enhance Healing But Also Prevent Lower Extremity Amputations Caused By Non-Healing Wounds.
