Abstract

The article focuses on the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers through wound management protocol. It says that infection and vascular insufficiency of the wound must be addressed to maximize the success of the skin graft. It encourages the use of wheelchair for noncompliant patients in order to lessen the possibility of graft failure from premature weight-bearing ambulation.
