Foot Ulcers: A Different Technique to Total Contact Casting for Healing Chronic Foot Ulcers

Abstract

Total Contact Cast (TCC) is considered the gold standard method for healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) [1]. Chronic foot ulcers are a growing concern worldwide. Evidence-based research suggests that TCC is the best method to offload the plantar foot by adequately redistributing plantar pressures related to body mass while still maintaining patient mobility.
