Abstract:
The authors' philosophy and regimen of treatment, based on experience with 103 pressure ulcers in 75 patients, are presented. This experience illustrates that the problem of pressure ulcers can be managed well by the application of sound surgical principles in a community hospital with a rehabilitation unit. With some simplification, the standard treatment procedures can be applied easily in this setting.
