138 patients with nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers were treated between 1994 and 1996. Sixty-nine percent of these foot ulcers healed within 17 weeks. Heel ulcers had a significantly lower healing rate, probably because of the difficulty of taking weight-bearing off this zone. Ischemia also correlated well with low healing rates, underlining the importance of vascular diagnosis and surgery. Since compliance is the most significant factor for success, it is mandatory to educate the patient about his disease and prevent further complications.
