MEXICAN STUDY ON DIABETICS WITH
WOUNDS ON THE EXTREMITIES
PATIENT #4
PATIENT: Salvador is a 50 year old Mexican male.
DIAGNOSIS: Type II Diabetic for 18 years.
HISTORY/WOUND DESCRIPTION: Patient has had an ulcer on his right leg which took six months to heal. He was hospitalized with that problem for two of the six months. He then burned both of his feet on hot cement. The burns became infected and he was hospitalized for 28 days. The left foot healed during his hospital stay. However, infection continued to reoccur in his right foot. In September of 1996, he had two toes amputated. The wound left from amputation was still sizable after two months.
TREATMENT: He began treatment with the Neuro Care™ Treatment Program© on November 4, 1996. Received treatments twice a day until granulation appeared (4th day) and his wound decreased in size from 11.5 cm X 9.5 cm. On January 2, 1997 the wound measures 3 X 2.5 cm. He is now a candidate for a skin graft due to his improved circulation in his foot.
