The treatment of chronic, nonhealing wounds is discussed. The authors have successfully utilized locally acting growth factors as an adjunct to aggressive, comprehensive management in a clinical setting. At the Holmes Regional Wound Care Center, wounds with an average duration of 75 weeks at presentation were 100% epithelialized in an average of 10 weeks of therapy. The use of topical PROCUREN, or autologous platelet-derived wound healing factors (PDWHF) is introduced to the podiatric literature.
