Summary: This article details diabetic Jeff Fulton's battle with a serious foot wound. Jeff's problems began with the removal of a callous on his foot that resulted in an ulcer and then a serious infection. Two years and nine doctors later, Jeff was on disability with a severe foot wound that would not heal. Jeff finally found Dr. Ahmad El-Samad, who performed surgery to address the underlying foot deformity and then treated the wound with GRAFTJACKET® Matrix. Eight months later, Jeff is back at work with just a small scar to indicate his previous life-threatening wound. Jeff and Dr. El-Samad warn about the problems diabetics face with foot ulcers and encourage others to seek treatment as soon as a problem develops. |

Dr. Scott Clark discusses the importance of aggressively treating foot ulcers and how he uses the GRAFTJACKET® Matrix to accelerate the healing of open wounds. Dr. Clark also discusses the increase in calls about foot ulcers and amputations to his practice since Larry Miller, owner of the Utah Jazz, recently had both legs amputated below-the-knee because of complications related to his diabetic foot ulcers. |
