These types of wound are known to carry a high morbidity and mortality. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A single-center, retrospective chart review was performed to assess the efficacy of the combined use of cUC with NPWT, by the same surgeon, to help promote the closure of complex DFUs presenting with biopsy-proven osteomyelitis. Change in wound size and volume, time to wound closure, and number of cUC applications were assessed. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> We identified of 14 wounds in 13 patients, with an average initial wound area of (mean\u00b1standard devaition) 33.2\u00b121.7cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> and wound volume of 52\u00b126.2cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>. All achieved complete re-epithelialisation with an average time to closure of 24.0\u00b110.9 weeks, using between 2\u20135 cUC applications. No adverse events were noted and none of the wounds required limb amputation during the a follow-up of 24 months for each patient. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p> The results suggest that combined use of cUC and NPWT may be effective in improving the healing of complex DFUs that present with osteomyelitis. Prospective, randomised controlled trials are warranted to confirm this efficacy as well as its potential applications in other chronic wounds. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2017.26.sup10.s38","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,4]],"date-time":"2017-10-04T17:33:56Z","timestamp":1507138436000},"page":"S38-S44","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Use of cryopreserved umbilical cord with negative pressure wound therapy for complex diabetic ulcers with osteomyelitis"],"prefix":"10.12968","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Raphael","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Partner Podiatrist, Village Podiatry Centers, Smyrna, GA, US"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Gonzales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Resident, PGY-3, Dekalb Medical Podiatric Residency, Decatur, GA, US"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5130","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cis346"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-475X.2009.00543.x"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/14746514070070050601"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc07-2196"},{"key":"B5","first-page":"307","volume":"15","author":"Davis JW.","year":"1910","journal-title":"Johns Hopkins Med J"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(80)91617-7"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000637-198002000-00010"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BCR.0b013e31818b9e40"},{"issue":"10","key":"B9","first-page":"1237","volume":"118","author":"Gruss JS","year":"1978","journal-title":"Can Med Assoc J"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.12456"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/dev.020461"},{"issue":"25","key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14705","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9258(18)77165-2","volume":"265","author":"Opipari AW","year":"1990","journal-title":"J Biol Chem"},{"issue":"101","key":"B13","first-page":"1","volume":"56","author":"Tseng SC.","year":"2015","journal-title":"Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2014.23.10.465"}],"container-title":["Journal of Wound Care"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.12968\/jowc.2017.26.Sup10.S38","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]],"date-time":"2022-05-24T19:32:29Z","timestamp":1653420749000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/10.12968\/jowc.2017.26.Sup10.S38"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,1]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Sup10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.12968\/jowc.2017.26.Sup10.S38"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12968\/jowc.2017.26.sup10.s38","relation":{},"ISSN":["0969-0700","2052-2916"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0969-0700","type":"print"},{"value":"2052-2916","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,1]]}}}
