| Summary: | A high prevalence of foot ulcers was confirmed among patients with diabetes, which are common indications for hospitalization, and usually associated with a long hospital stay with adverse outcomes including amputation and death.

The aim of this case presentation is to explore clinical and treatment elements for a hand ulcer as well as a review of the literature. [Arch Clin Exp Surg 2013; 2(3.000): 207-209] |
