A longstanding diabetic foot ulcer that had failed to improve with standard wound care finally healed with the aid of maggot therapy, honey dressings and human amniotic membrane, case authors report.
The 46-year-old man with a history of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes presented to the clinic at the Urmia University of Medical Sciences in Iran with a non-healing pressure wound on his left foot.
