Plantar ulcer recurrence often leads to osteomyelitis, which is more commonly observed in patients with diabetes. Once the infection of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) spreads and is complicated by osteomyelitis, treatment becomes more complicated and difficult. Osteomyelitis treatment remains challenging because of low drug concentration within the tissue caused by poor circulation and inadequate localized nutrition. Moreover, tissues around plantar ulcers are fewer and are thin, making the formation of granulation tissues difficult due to elevated plantar pressure. Furthermore, the skin around the wound is excessively keratinized, and the epidermis is hard to regenerate. Meanwhile, skin grafting at that site is often not successful due to poor blood circulation. Therefore, it is technically challenging to manage diabetic pressure plantar ulcer with osteomyelitis and prevent its recurrence. Here, we present a case of chronic DFU complicated by osteomyelitis due to foot deformity. The ulcer was successfully healed using advanced wound repair technology comprising of surgical bone resection, vancomycin-loaded bone cement implant, negative-pressure wound therapy, and autologous platelet-rich gel. Subsequently, preventive foot care with custom-made offloading footwear was prescribed. The plantar ulcer did not recur and improvement in biomechanical parameters was observed after the intervention. This case represents an effective and comprehensive management strategy for limb salvage and prevention in patients with complicated foot conditions.Keywords: diabetic foot ulcer, osteomyelitis, antibiotic-loaded bone cement, autologous platelet-rich gel, negative-pressure wound therapy, offloading footwearJiang XLi NYuan YYang CChen YMa YWang JDu DBoey JArmstrong DGDeng WDove Medical Pressarticlediabetic foot ulcerosteomyelitisantibiotic-loaded bone cementautologous platelet-rich gelnegative-pressure wound therapyoffloading footwearSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2289-2296 (2020) |
