Neuropathic foot ulceration can lead to long periods of in-patient treatment, and healing time is related to the size of the skin defect. We report a case where most of the skin was lost from the plantar surface of the foot, and healing was dramatically assisted by the application of split-skin grafts, a technique seldom considered for the treatment of diabetic foot lesions.
