  • Title: Implications for the use of amnion and chorion in podiatric medicine and surgery.
    Author: Boc SF, Chairman EL, Freed EL.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1985; 24(4):236-42. PubMed ID: 4045111.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this article is to show the possibility of using fetal membranes as a biologic dressing for some of the pedal ulcerations that podiatrists encounter. There are as many treatment modalities for lower extremity ulcerations as there are types of ulcers. Through the following case histories, the authors demonstrate various types of ulcerations treated with amnion and chorion and the results achieved. The clinical application of fetal membranes has been under study for many years. The authors' efforts support the use of amnion and chorion by the medical community in treating some lower extremity ulcers.
