UNASSIGNED: This case report presents a successful nonsurgical outpatient approach for managing a high-risk diabetic foot ulcer with tendon exposure in an older adult with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and severe heart failure. Due to the patient\'s comorbidities, surgical intervention was not an option, leading to the utilization of ozone therapy, collagen powder, and Phenytoin ointment. The significance of this case lies in the treatment of a high-risk foot ulcer through a nonsurgical approach, considering the patient\'s uncontrolled diabetes and severe heart failure. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are debilitating and life-threatening complications, often resulting in amputations, socio-psychological burdens, and lifestyle changes. Conventional treatment methods have shown limited success, necessitating the exploration of new and innovative approaches. The use of ozone therapy has emerged as a potential treatment, but its safety and efficacy in DFUs require further investigation. The positive outcomes observed in this case report suggest that ozone therapy may be a viable option for treating DFUs, and further studies are recommended to evaluate its effectiveness.
■本病例报告提供了一种成功的非手术门诊治疗方法,用于治疗患有未控制的糖尿病和严重心力衰竭的老年人的高风险糖尿病足溃疡伴肌腱外露。由于病人的合并症,手术干预不是一种选择,导致臭氧疗法的利用,胶原蛋白粉,和苯妥英软膏。这种情况的意义在于通过非手术方法治疗高风险的足部溃疡,考虑到患者不受控制的糖尿病和严重的心力衰竭。糖尿病足溃疡(DFU)是使人衰弱和危及生命的并发症,经常导致截肢,社会心理负担,和生活方式的改变。传统的治疗方法取得了有限的成功,有必要探索新的和创新的方法。使用臭氧疗法已经成为一种潜在的治疗方法,但其在DFU中的安全性和有效性需要进一步调查。本病例报告中观察到的积极结果表明,臭氧治疗可能是治疗DFU的可行选择。并建议进一步研究以评估其有效性。
