摘要
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of total contact casting (TCC) in treating non-healing diabetic foot ulcers in Lebanese diabetic patients. Twenty-three diabetic patients were treated with TCC, and relevant data were collected retrospectively. Sixteen patients were analysed; the average duration of casting was 6 weeks, and 75% of the patients achieved complete ulcer closure without recurrence during one year of follow-up and without any complications. TCC appears to be an effective treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
