HD wounds, classified as non-healing wounds are difficult to manage causing disability of the patient and costs of treatment is very high [21]. HD wounds are unrecognized clinical problems [22] associated with several comorbidities [23].…”

Comorbid conditions are risk factors of delayed healing of plantar ulcers in HD patients [13].…”
