Post-operatively red rubber bulb drainage was used instead of the hemovac.The patients were all leprotic and held in custody by Nonsomboon Leprosarium. Twenty-nine cases were affected by malignant change of the long standing trophic ulcer, while 29 had chronic ulceration and osteomyelittis of the tarsal bones with useless deforned feet.
