ABSTRACT
Maggot debridement therapy(MDT)and conventional therapy were applied to diabetic foot ulcers(DFUs)with Wagner 2-4 respectively. The results showed that the prognosis was better in MDT group than in conventional therapy group. The reduction of circumference, square and volume of DFUs, healing rate of DFUs, decrease in number of bacterial species, and cost of antibiotics were all improved in the former group. The results suggest that MDT offers a fresh and effective method in the treatment of DFUs.
