Diabetes mellitus complicates and compromises wound care and tissue repair for several reasons. This case report describes the successful wound care treatment modalities used in the care of a 53-year-old male who presented with diabetes and a full-thickness lower leg wound.

Key Words: full-thickness wound • diabetes mellitus • wound care treatment modalities
