The use of low-level laser therapy to treat wounds and accelerate tissue healing has extensively been studied in recent years. The aim of this article is to describe a clinical case using an unfocused high-power laser instead of a low-power laser for therapy. In the present article, we present the use of a high-power diode laser to treat an extensive knee injury that occurred after surgical treatment for total prosthesis due to border ischemia resulting from prolonged use of autostatic retractors. It is possible to use an unfocused high-power laser at a decreased intensity to accelerate healing as an adjuvant in the treatment of complicated wounds. This procedure results in reduced application time and cost and an excellent tissue response pattern similar to that reported in the literature with low-power lasers.
近年来,低强度激光疗法用于治疗伤口和加速组织愈合已得到广泛研究。本文旨在描述一个临床病例,该病例使用非聚焦高功率激光而非低功率激光进行治疗。在本文中,我们介绍了使用高功率二极管激光治疗因长时间使用自动牵开器导致边缘缺血而在全膝关节置换术后发生的广泛膝关节损伤。在治疗复杂伤口时,以降低的强度使用非聚焦高功率激光作为辅助手段来加速愈合是可行的。该方法缩短了治疗时间,降低了成本,并且产生了与文献中报道的低功率激光相似的良好组织反应模式。
