Abstract
Musculoskeletal wounds are challenging to treat. Vacuum therapy (VT), based on the principle of applying negative pressure to a wound, has gained popularity as an adjunctive treatment modality for musculoskeletal wounds. Clinical studies have shown that VT improves wound bed preparation, reduces wound size, accelerates healing rates, and decreases time to wound closure. It is also associated with a lower risk of wound complications, such as infection, dehiscence, and seroma formation. The integration of VT into a comprehensive wound management approach has the potential to improve outcomes for patients with musculoskeletal wounds. This review provides a comprehensive overview of VT for musculoskeletal wound care. The review discusses the current practices, mechanism of action, benefits, risks, and future directions of VT. The review concludes that VT is a valuable tool for the treatment of musculoskeletal wounds, and that it is safe and effective for most patients.
