Abstract:
The purpose of this case report is to present a management approach that was effective in the healing and long-term care of a neuropathic plantar ulcer in a patient with diabetes mellitus. The report demonstrates that a successful management program must go beyond the stage of healing and include patient education and techniques for reducing plantar pressures to prevent the recurrence of plantar ulcers.
