Abstract

Introduction: The diabetic foot is one of the most feared complications of diabetes mellitus; It is the cause of 80 % of non-traumatic amputations worldwide. For decades, different treatments have been used to heal diabetic foot; growth factors have revolutionized this therapy. The participation of a multidisciplinary team with compliance with the action protocols and the use of Heberprot-P decrease the rate of amputations in patients with this condition.
Objective: To present the evolution of patients with diabetic foot ulcers, in different clinical stages, treated with Heberprot-P.
Development: Three clinical cases are presented; The first is a male patient, 56 years old, diabetic, with open transmetatarsal amputation in which 16 applications of Heberprot-P were performed and a skin graft was placed, the lesion closed in 45 days. The second is a 58-year-old patient, diabetic and hypertensive, with a right foot injury, with previous vascular surgery; 19 applications of Heberprot-P were performed and the lesion healed in 49 days. The third case is a 55-year-old patient, who was admitted due to an extensive injury to his right foot, 22 applications of Heberprot-P were performed, closure of the injury was achieved in 85 days and amputation was avoided.
Conclusions: The presented cases evolved favorably with Heberprot-P treatment.
