High-voltage, pulsed electrical stimulation is an effective adjunct to multidisciplinary attempts at limb salvage in diabetic patients with complex lower extremity wounds, results from a small study demonstrated.
Of 45 wounds in 30 patients, 78% of the wounds healed in a mean of 14 weeks using the electrical stimulation system, Dr. Jeremy J. Burdge reported at the annual meeting of the Wound Healing Society. Dr. Burdge, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who practices in Columbus, Ohio, and his associates evaluated the efficacy of high-voltage electrical stimulation in patients who failed to improve despite multidisciplinary treatment approaches. More than half (57%) of the patients in the study were men; their mean age was 66 years. The mean age of wounds was 25 weeks, and the mean surface area was 7.8 cm
Dr. Burdge had no conflicts to disclose.
