Our orthopedic experts will assess your specific situation to determine the underlying causes and create a personalized treatment plan.

How is the assessment of non-healing wounds conducted?

Our orthopedic team will perform a thorough evaluation of your wound, considering factors like wound size, depth, location and overall health. Diagnostic tests might be conducted to assess blood flow, infection presence, and tissue health. This comprehensive assessment guides the development of an effective wound care plan.

Our orthopedic experts can offer guidance on preventive measures. This might involve managing underlying health conditions, maintaining proper nutrition, using appropriate footwear, managing pressure points and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Preventing non-healing wounds often requires a comprehensive approach.
