Clinical Study on the treatment of chronic infectious ulcers using Platelet-Rich technology combined with moist dressings

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich technology combined with moist dressings in the treatment of chronic infectious ulcers. Methods: This was a retrospective study. The subjects of the study were 48 patients with chronic infectious ulcers in Sichuan Provincial Orthopedics Hospital from January 2019 to June 2022. Enrolled patients were randomly divided into four groups(n=12), and received different treatment methods respectively. Further analysis and comparison were performed on the changes in wound volume, wound healing status, wound bacterial culture results, and the incidence of adverse reactions among the four groups. Results: Three months after debridement, the wound volume of all four groups of patients was significantly reduced compared with that before debridement, with a statistically significant difference in intra-Group-Comparison(P0.05). Conclusion: Platelet-rich technology combined with moist dressings may effectively promote the repair of chronic infectious ulcer wounds, with good clinical safety. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.40.7.8468 How to cite this: Zhang X, Lang Z.
