Case studies from practice

Ulcus cruris

Patient (77 years old), bedridden due to a spinal injury.

Recurrence of a leg ulcer of unknown origin on the right lower leg, no edema, vascular status unclear.
Wound healing had stagnated for several months; partly purulent coatings.
Patient reported severe pain during mechanical wound cleansing.

Week 8, relapse after interruption of therapy

Treatment success:
Patient is pain-free. Complete wound closure after 14 weeks.

Diabetic Foot Syndrome

Patient (50 years old) with diabetic foot syndrome.

Infected ulcers above the metatarsal bones (left) and necrotic 4th toe. Amputation due to deterioration of the wound situation.
Wound infection partially resistant corynebacteria, enterococci and
staphylococci.

Treatment success:
Amputation of the 5th toe could be averted. Complete wound closure on day 105.

Postoperative wound healing disorder

Patientin (77 years) with wound healing disorder with known chronic venous insufficiency and cardiac insufficiency.

Secondary healing wound (split-thickness skin graft and flap plasty) after trauma (contusion in a car accident).
Infection with Enterobacter aerogenes, additional tendency to edema formation in lower legs.
