Calculating diabetic foot ulceration healing times using the Texas wound classification system

Methods All patients presenting to the MDFT with active ulceration during 2010 had their ulcer classified using the Texas system and were entered into the audit. These ulcers were then monitored until healing or until the end of the data collection period (December 2012). A patient with multiple ulcer sites had each ulcer monitored separately. The average healing rates could then be calculated and compared.
