Abstract:
Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus, which leads to a very high rate of amputation. How to deal with diabetic foot ulcer becomes a difficult issue for the clinical wound treatment. We reviewed the related literatures in recent years and summarized the experience of traditional Chinese external therapies such as debridement, fumigating and washing therapy, wet dressing therapy, hoop around therapy, thread-drawing therapy and plaster-covering therapy.
