Neuropathic foot ulceration treated by total contact casts

PW Laing, DI Cogley, and L Klenerman

University Department of Orthopaedics, Royal Liverpool Hospital, England.

Ulceration of the insensitive foot continues to cause great morbidity in diabetic patients. We treated 46 patients with neuropathic ulceration by applying total contact casts. Most neuropathic ulcers healed within six weeks but ischaemic ulcers did not heal. One patient developed gangrene and required partial amputation of the foot.
