RESUMO
In the neurologically impaired foot pressure ulcers are common. Pressure point reduction must always be addressed. Most ulcers, perhaps with the exception of huge heel ulcers, will heal by secondary intention if treated conservatively in the right manner. However, conservative treatment can be very time consuming and might sometimes leave unstable scars. For those with recurrent ulcers, the time taken off work to heal these ulcers can be economically debilitating. Skin grafting and flep coverage can be rewarding in selected cases. Follow up with proper footwear is of uttermost importance. Soft tissue coverage can only occur when all signs of infection have resolved and the foot has an adequate blood supply.
