Role of hybrid reconstruction ladder in management of non-healing ulcer over the right knee

Abstract

Non healing ulcers need optimum wound-care practises. Pain and poor quality of life, and poor outcome have significant negative impact on health, psychological and social life. They can last anywhere from a few weeks to several years., , Cellulitis, osteomyelitis, and malignant transformation are all serious consequences. Although the general occurrence of these ulcers is modest, their refractory nature increases the risk of morbidity and mortality, as well as having a major impact on patient’s quality of life., Here we report a case of non-healing knee ulcer with the use of hybrid reconstruction ladder to manage the ulcer.
