| Popis: | Allogeneic PG, as opposed to autologous PG, is preferred because it can be obtained from young and healthy donors, providing a high dose of functioning platelets with minimal risk of bacterial contamination. This is the first published report, to our knowledge, of treating DSWI by means of injection of allogenic PG. Considering the disappointing results seen with the surgical treatment of DSWI, especially for high-risk patients, nonsurgical therapy consisting of a combination of biologic (PG) and mechanical (VAC) methods might be advantageous as a simple, inexpensive, and safer therapy. |
