    Area of Science:

    • Podiatry
    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Trophic plantar ulcers are a common complication in leprosy patients.
    • These ulcers significantly impact mobility and quality of life.
    • Leprosy-related neuropathy predisposes individuals to ulcer formation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the management strategies for trophic plantar ulcers in leprosy.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of different treatment modalities.
    • To define indications for surgical interventions and emphasize preventative measures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 111 trophic plantar ulcers in 100 leprosy patients.
    • Classification of ulcers into superficial and deep categories.
    • Treatment methods included plaster cast, curettage, neurovascular decompression, and metatarsectomy, often in combination.

    Main Results:

    • Male patients in their 4th and 5th decades were predominantly affected.
    • Lepromatous leprosy was the most common type.
    • Combined conservative (plaster cast) and surgical treatments showed faster healing rates.

    Conclusions:

    • A combined conservative and surgical approach accelerates healing of trophic plantar ulcers in leprosy.
    • Specific indications for surgical interventions were established.
    • Appropriate footwear plays a vital role in ulcer prevention and management.
