Abstract
The authors present a study of 15 patients with extensive leg ulcers of at least a grade Ill out of five grades, who were treated with topical oxygen treatment. A 73.3% healing rate was obtained. Three patients required further amputation and one patient eventually died. Failures to heal were associated with severe ischemic diseases and tissue hypoxia. Management of severe wound infections of the limbs required multidisciplinary treatment, which included the use of high-pressure oxygen treatment.
