Abstract
Non healing ulcers and the resulting potential amputations present signi{uFB01}cant costs to the health care system and reduce patient quality of life. The goal of chronic ulcer treatment is to obtain wound closure as expeditiously as possible.

However, controversies exist in the literature regarding the added bene{uFB01}t of this procedure. The aim of this study is to investigate the ef{uFB01}ciency of platelet releasate on the healing of chronic ulcers. This study included 10 patients with chronic ulcers.
