Use of a Skin-Covering Pocket as a Local Flap and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation and Dwell Time/Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer with Calcaneal Osteomyelitis: A Case Report

We report a case of a patient treated with a skin-covering pocket as a local flap and negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell time and negative pressure wound therapy to relieve osteomyelitis and promote wound contraction. There was no involvement of other body parts, and only the pocket consisting of skin at the sole of the foot was used, and load could be withstood.PMID:37938898 | DOI:10.7547/21-061
