- Abstract
Chronic non-healing ulcers pose significant challenges in clinical management, particularly when complicating conditions such as hypertension and dyslipidaemia are present. We present a case of a 38-year-old male with a neglected nonhealing ulcer over the dorsum of his right foot, complicated by underlying hypertension and dyslipidaemia. Despite conventional wound care measures, the ulcer failed to heal over a period of six months. Subsequently, the patient underwent successful treatment with skin grafting, resulting in complete wound closure and restoration of foot function. This case underscores the importance of considering advanced interventions like skin grafting in the management of chronic ulcers, especially in patients with comorbidities that may impair wound healing.
