Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a real public health problem which carry a high risk of amputation. The treatment of DFUs is based on general management such as the treatment of infection, arterial disease, and offloading, but recent studies have shown that the quality of the local covering can impact the healing rate.

Case summary: We report the case of a 39-year-old man, living with diabetes since the age of 15, who developed DFU on the dorsum of his left foot, with muscle and tendon involvement. Conventional management with intensive diabetes control, surgery, treatment of infection and negative pressure therapy gave only limited results. The patient benefited from the application of an intact fish skin graft with complete epithelialisation of the ulcer after 10 weeks of treatment.

Conclusion: The use of intact fish skin graft appears to be a promising option for deep DFUs.

期刊介绍： The WJD is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJD is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of diabetes. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJD is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJD are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in diabetes. Scope: Diabetes Complications, Experimental Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes, Gestational, Diabetic Angiopathies, Diabetic Cardiomyopathies, Diabetic Coma, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Diabetic Nephropathies, Diabetic Neuropathies, Donohue Syndrome, Fetal Macrosomia, and Prediabetic State.
