Former NFL player healed in less than 2 months of aggressive wound care.

He now has no pain and can enjoy his activities of daily living.

Patient healed after several months of treatment to prevent left leg amputation. Care involved multiple wound debridements on his left heel, revascularization to open up circulation of left leg, antibiotics for infection, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to increase oxygen delivery to his tissues.

HBOT significantly improved the percentage graft uptake in posttraumatic wounds and resulted in better donor site healing compared with standard care alone.

Evaluates hyperbaric oxygen therapy's impact on skin graft uptake and donor site healing in patients with traumatic wounds undergoing STSG.

Patient successfully healed after 6 months of treatment and right leg amputation was prevented.
The patient had a severe Diabetic ulcer that infected the bone. She underwent numerous debridements, revascularization (opening her arteries to improve circulation), and IV antibiotics.
She did not have the means to do hyperbaric oxygen therapy due to finances which prolonged her healing time but was still able to save her foot with consistent wound care.
