the base of the proximal phalanx, and the calcaneus .
During the past 9 years, we treated 85 patients
with ulcers located on the sole and the dorsum of the foot , and lower third of the leg. To prevent osteomyelitis and amputation of the lower leg,
we performed various treatment modalities such as free and pedicle naps .
skin grafts, and mechanical stretching devices of the skin (e.g., Sure Closure, Plunderm, etc)o as well as consistent vacuum-assisted closure .
We obtained satisfactory results in most cases . We report detailed results and related references .
