Abstract

 Diabetic foot is one of the common conditions faced by surgeons . A multidisciplinary team, approach is mandatory for successful treatment of the condition. Its complexity is mainly due to involvement of multiple organs and systems. Hence the condition is often found to be difficult to manage. Various modalities have been evolved time to time for treatment of such condition. General concept is that appropriate and timely healing of wound can prevent various wound related complications like gangrene, auto amputations, septicemia, multiorgan failure, disfigurement, deformities etc. Adjuvant therapy may play an important role here as it is associated with multiple systemic disorders and often the patient is not fit for major surgery. Adjuvant therapy not only increases the wound healing but also can reduce the requirement of graft/ Flap by reducing the size of the defect. Through this article we present use of Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (APRP) therapy as an effective tool to enhance healing in wound bed preparation of diabetic foot.
