“…It is worth to note that many clinical reports have revealed that MEBT/MEBO for the treatment of severe diabetic foot ulcers in grades 3 to 5 can effectively promote wound healing, improve healing quality, and significantly reduce the rate of high amputation. Chen et al 6 used MEBT/MEBO to treat grade-5 diabetic foot ulcers. The cure rate was as high as 90.91%, the high-amputation rate was 9.09%, the wound healing time was 34 to 196 days (average = 71.16 days), and the costs were relatively low.…”

“…5 In recent years, many clinical summaries have reported that the regenerative medical technology for burns, wounds, and ulcers in the treatment of severe diabetic foot ulcers at grades 3 to 5 can effectively promote wound healing, improve healing quality, and significantly reduce the rate of high amputation. 6 In addition to patients with grade-5 severe diabetic foot and entire gangrene (Wagner's classification), in clinical practice, some patients may have infected and necrotic diabetic foot ulcers that have broken through the ankle joint, rapidly spreading to and invading the lower limb, causing necrotizing fasciitis of the lower leg. These patients have complex, critical conditions and rapid disease progression.…”

To analyze and evaluate the clinical efficacy of Chinese and Western medical techniques in the treatment of severe diabetic foot ulcers complicated with necrotizing fasciitis of the lower leg and summarize the treatment experience of such patients to identify a new method of limb salvage treatment. A total of 46 patients with severe diabetic foot ulcers and necrotizing fasciitis of the lower leg were treated with such techniques as surgical debridement, bone drilling, open joint fusion, and microskin implantation. Wounds were treated with moisture-exposed burn therapy (a regenerative medical treatment for burns, wounds, and ulcers) and moisture-exposed burn ointment (a traditional Chinese medicine); underlying diseases were also treated effectively. The wound healing time, rate of high amputation, and mortality of these patients were summarized, and the clinical efficacy of such treatments was evaluated. Of the 46 patients enrolled, 38 patients were cured, with a cure rate of 82.61%. The average wound healing time was 130 ± 74.37 days. Two patients underwent high amputations, with an amputation rate of 4.35%, and 4 deaths occurred, with a mortality rate of 8.70%. The combination of Chinese and Western medical techniques in the treatment of severe diabetic foot ulcers complicated with necrotizing fasciitis of the lower leg not only effectively saved patients’ lives and promoted wound healing but also greatly reduced the rates of high amputation and disability.
