Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcer is a severe Diabetic Mellitus-associated complication. It is induced by poor glycemic control, which leads to peripheral neuropathy and vascular diseases. Platelet-rich plasma could be beneficial for healing processes due to its active biomolecules that promotes immunomodulation, angiogenesis, cell proliferation and analgesia.
