ABSTRACT
Diabetes-related foot ulceration is a common complication in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and is associated with high mortality. This case report describes an 83-year-old woman with more than 20 years of type Ib diabetes, hypertension, and five noninfected skin lesions on the lower limbs of a one-year evolution. The patient had failed previous treatments. Our treatment protocol consisted of a topical treatment using preconditioned autologous platelet-rich plasma with photothermal biomodulation using the MCT System, combined with phototherapy. The patient underwent three treatment sessions, one per week and a cleaning session four days after each treatment. The protocol applied was intended to increase the exosome released by platelets.
