Pain control with punch grafting in ulcers with underlying arteriolosclerosis 11 April, 2022
CONCLUSION: Punch grafting is a simple, validated and cost-effective technique that can be performed on an outpatient basis, promotes wound healing and reduces pain. It may control pain and stimulate epithelialisation even if the wound does not present with optimum wound bed characteristics for graft taking. Pain reduction and faster epithelialisation are associated with improvements […]
