  • Title: The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and refractory osteomyelitis.
    Author: Unger HD, Lucca M.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 1990 Jul; 7(3):483-92. PubMed ID: 2205348.
    Abstract:
    The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the care of the diabetic patient with nonhealing ulcers, refractory osteomyelitis, or both of the lower extremity can be a valuable adjunct in their overall treatment. Adequate tissue oxygenation to promote wound healing and stimulate cellular defenses can be achieved in a hyperbaric environment. Several clinical studies have supported its use in select patients.
