Outcome of Rotation Flap Combined with Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Plantar Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Outcome of Rotation Flap Combined with Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Plantar Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Background Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) affect approximately 20% of diabetic patients and pose significant risks, especially for plantar wounds that bear weight. Conventional treatments often have suboptimal results, necessitating the exploration of reconstructive options. Plastic surgery...

Description
Summary:Background Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) affect approximately 20% of diabetic patients and pose significant risks, especially for plantar wounds that bear weight. Conventional treatments often have suboptimal results, necessitating the exploration of reconstructive options. Plastic surgery interventions, such as skin grafts and flaps, have shown promising outcomes, but with considerable complications. This study evaluates the efficacy of rotation flap reconstruction with incisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for plantar DFUs.
