Post Traumatic Scar with Repeated Trophic Ulcers Treated With a Cocktail of Ablative Pixel Erbium YAG Laser, PRP Therapy and Autologous Fat Transplant - A Novel Case Report of Terminal Nerve Ending Regeneration through Regenerative Surgery

2017 
This report discusses the case of a twenty-eight years old male patient reported in our tertiary care skin institute for the treatment of post-traumatic scar revision on his left heel following a history of road side accident one year back. The treatment of this patient is based on the principle of regenerative surgery where body’s own tissues and fluids are utilized for healing and repair. The intention of combining three procedures was to induce repeated injuries on scarred skin and give appropriate direction for wound repair in presence of PRP released growth factors. Eventually by the end of third session, the patients started perceiving touch and pain sensation which led to complete healing of trophic ulcers and prevented risk of osteomyelitis to underlying bone. Author strongly believes that no amount of external agents can ever match our body’s own healing potential; all it needs is a little support, right nutrition and the direction to work in.
