Vinod Kumar | |
Background: In diabetic foot, ulceration occurs as a result of trauma in the presence of neuropathy and/or peripheral vascular disease with infection as a secondary phenomenon following disruption of the protective epidermis. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of PRP dressings in DFU. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 82 patients of both genders (males- 46, females- 36). Wound size as per maximum length and breadth and area were recorded and three PRP dressings were given on day 0, 1st week and at 3rd week. On 2nd week, and 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th weeks only saline dressings were applied at weekly intervals. On every dressing patient’s wound was measured in maximum length and maximum breadth by using a scale and area was calculated.
