- Abstract
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has emerged as a valuable tool for managing complex wounds within the foot and ankle field. This review article discusses the expanding applications of NPWT in this specialized field. Specifically, it discusses the efficacy of NPWT for various wound types, including diabetic foot wounds, traumatic wounds, surgical wounds, and wounds involving exposed bone or soft tissue defects. NPWT demonstrates versatile utility for foot and ankle wound management by promoting healing, potentially reducing the need for secondary surgery, improving diabetic and neuropathic ulcer healing times and outcomes, and optimizing the healing of high-risk incisions. In addition, this review explores the underlying mechanisms through which NPWT might enhance wound healing. By synthesizing current evidence, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the role of NPWT in foot and ankle surgery and offers valuable insights to clinicians navigating the complexities of wound care in this challenging anatomical area.
