Causes, risks, and treatment explained clearly.
Chronic ulcers are wounds that fail to heal even after several weeks of proper care. They are serious because they can deepen, become infected, involve bone, and lead to limb-threatening complications if neglected.
Common causes include diabetes, poor blood circulation, pressure from prolonged bed rest, nerve damage, and repeated trauma. Infections and nutritional deficiencies can further delay healing.
Poor blood supply, ongoing pressure, infection, and dead tissue prevent normal wound healing. Without correcting these underlying issues, routine dressings alone are often ineffective.
Plastic surgeons remove dead tissue, control infection, improve blood supply, and use advanced techniques such as skin grafts or flap surgery to cover wounds. This approach promotes faster healing and reduces recurrence.
Yes, timely plastic surgical intervention can save limbs by promoting healing and preventing the spread of infection, especially in diabetic foot ulcers.
